The short answer: This product made it to our curated list because it has achieved certification through well-established and respected organizations with its ingredients sourced from regenerative agriculture. FYI: We are currently establishing a way to list non-certified products with transparency about the farm's regenerative practices.
White Leaf Provisions is a woman-led, family-run business, dedicated to sourcing and creating the purest foods possible, grown in healthy, nutrient-dense soil.
The ingredients used in their products are not only certified Organic and GMO-free, they are also regeneratively farmed® because they are biodynamic®.
Their Mission at White Leaf is to offer products with the utmost purity and transparency from farm to shelf. They created White Leaf because they understood that destructive modern agricultural practices are ravaging our soils – making our food less nutritious and more wrought with chemicals than ever before. They were inspired to go a step beyond organic and bring the first 100% regeneratively farmed, biodynamic & GMO-free family foods line to retail in the US!
Every White Leaf ingredient is farmed in a way that follows and supports nature, reducing our families’ exposure to toxic chemicals while healing the earth.
The Demeter Biodynamic Certification uses the USDA Organic standard as a foundation, but with stricter requirements around imported fertility, greater emphasis on on-farm solutions for disease, pest, and weed control, and in-depth specifications around water conservation and biodiversity. Biodynamic farming is free of synthetic pesticides and fertilizers in the same manner as certified organic farming.
In day-to-day practice, the goal is to create a farm system that is minimally dependent on imported materials and instead meets its needs from the living dynamics of the farm itself. It is the biodiversity of the farm, organized so that the waste of one part of the farm becomes the energy for another, that results in an increase in the farm’s capacity for self-renewal and ultimately makes the farm sustainable. This requires that, as much as possible, a farm be regenerative rather than degenerative.
The USDA organic regulations describe organic agriculture as the application of a set of cultural, biological, and mechanical practices that support the cycling of on-farm resources, promote ecological balance, and conserve biodiversity. These include maintaining or enhancing soil and water quality; conserving wetlands, woodlands, and wildlife; and avoiding the use of synthetic fertilizers, sewage sludge, irradiation, and genetic engineering.
Organic producers use natural processes and materials when developing farming systems—these contribute to soil, crop, and livestock nutrition, pest and weed management, attainment of production goals, and conservation of biological diversity.
Glyphosate Residue Free certification verifies (through third-party accredited laboratory tests) that products do not contain glyphosate residues.
To be certified Glyphosate Residue Free, a product must have no glyphosate residues down to government-recognized limits of detection (LODs) for food, commodity, and supplement samples (usually 0.01 ppm), and lower levels than default government Maximum Residue Limits (MRLs) in the European Union and Japan.
The Glyphosate Residue Free program certification was established to:
