Business Philosophy:
Families deserve to know where and how the food they buy is grown, package and shipped to market. Today most foods are refined to the state that most of the nutritional value is removed. Pesticides are used more and more that the residual effects are showing up as birth defects and cancer causing agents. GMOs (genetic modified organism) are used today without any labeling. Only time will tell the effects on our lives and future generations. Today more families are looking for locally grown organic foods for their families, however the cost of organic foods are much more than mass produce farming. Born Again Gardens is dedicated to provide a healthy alternative by allowing families to grow their own organic foods in their backyards.
