Our Organic Manifesto

For over 5 years now we’ve chosen an organic lifestyle for our family. We’ve created effortless habits without breaking the bank – or making radical changes. We’re an almost everyday family and we think our way is a pretty cool way to live. We try and make informed choices and urge everyone to do that, but much of this also comes from our hearts. It isn’t just about an organic label on food – it’s way more than than – and that’s what makes it Organikal.

Here is the Organikal Manifesto – some basic ground rules that we try and live by:
