An Organic Start

Want to turn over a new leaf in the new year? With the help of Able & Cole, switching baby to an organic diet is a small change that will mean big things.

FOOD GROWN AS NATURE INTENDED

When feeding precious little ones, we know the importance of a natural, well-balanced and wholesome diet. Food that’s certified as organic is a gold-standard guarantee that it’s grown as nature intended. On non-organic farms, crops are repeatedly sprayed with synthetic pesticides, fungicides, and other who-knows-what-icides, forcing food to be available all year round. On organic farms, there’s none of that synthetic nonsense. Instead, farmers work with nature, not against it. The fields bloom with the ebbs and flows of each season. Blushing squash in the autumn, juicy currants in the summer – by choosing organic, your little one can sample the natural abundance every season.

FOOD THAT PUTS THE PLANET FIRST

Abel & Cole love a party, and the rave is underground. Soils are the basis of life – they protect underground water supplies and store more carbon than the atmosphere, and all of the world’s plants and forests combined. Not bad for a bit of mud! Organic farms are a haven for wildlife. They’re 50 per cent more abundant in birds, bees, and other buzzy things than non-organic farms. Organic farmers have loads of clever tricks for encouraging wildlife to set up shop, like letting hedgerows grow and planting pollinatorfriendly borders. So by choosing organic for your little one, you’re helping to protect the planet for generations to come.
