Organic food is a buzz-word in our vocabularies, but many of us might not know what it really means. A definition taken directly from the USDA website states that organic food is "food produced by farmers who emphasize the use of renewable resources and the conservation of soil and water to enhance environmental quality for future generations." In other words, organic foods use virtually no conventional chemicals, pesticides, fungicides, herbicides, and every-other-kind-of-cides that have proliferated our everyday lives and what we consume.

Not anybody can use the "organic" label on their food products. A government agent must inspect the farm where the food is grown, then certify the farm or organization before the "USDA ORGANIC" label can be used. This label tells the consumer that at least 95% of the product is organic. The use of the seal is voluntary; however, any organization that uses "organic" labels without govenment approval faces up to a $10,000 fine for each violation of the "organic" label. Moreover, "organic" should not be confused with natural, free-range, and hormone-free.

With a new global awareness of environmental preservation and health, more and more people look for the "organic" label. Cafe Madrid, SA is aware of your concerns and we have created a delicious line of organic roasted coffee beans and coffee products "cide-free" -- environmentally friendly, that focuses on your health and the health of our world.

With over 85 years of experience, our goal is to cultivate great relationships not only with the people who work for us and our customers, but also with the environment in which we grow our coffee. Our organic line of beans promotes healthy communities and a passion for healthy eating and drinking.

Cafe Madrid, SA is proud to offer a line of organic roasted coffee beans certified by the USDA, carrying the "organic" label. We hope to become your first choice for bulk, organic roasted coffee and coffee beans.
