Why Organic?

WHY ORGANIC

A measure of purity

We believe that the earth’s flora and fauna deserves to live in simple purity. That its raw, wild, natural beauty is celebrated. Its purity is real, unaltered, without additives, without chemical intervention, irradiation, enhancement or genetic modification.
Our commitment to using 100% certified organic produce is a reflection of this, ensuring you are receiving the purest botanicals possible

A way of life

Being a naturopath is not just our founder’s vocation but her way of living, a life philosophy, an oath to live with purity, mindfulness and in awareness with nature.
The biosphere in which we live is so magnificently complex and interwoven. To us living close to nature is just common sense.

A sustainable and ethical choice

It is our intention to live each day making choices and actions that demonstrate care, respect and compassion for our families, the broader community and the environment. In ecological terms sustainability is the capacity to endure; to remain diverse and productive. One could say that nature has successfully achieved both diversity and productive excellence, even against the greatest odds. It is therefore important to us that the business practices we employ each day at Organic Merchant are in unity with this philosophy and endorse sustainability.

What is the difference between wildcrafted and certified organic ingredients?

Wildcrafted plants like the name suggests, are not farmed but rather sustainably harvested from their natural habitat for food or medicinal purposes. They have had no exposure to herbicides, pesticides or other chemicals.

Certified organic ingredients mean that they are produced in a controlled environment that adheres to a whole system approach dedicated to sustainability, biodiversity protection and regeneration of lands and soils.
