Organic farming means the use of methods of growing and managing crops and livestock without use of pesticides, man-made fertilizers, antibiotics and growth hormones. So for instance, instead of using pellet fertilizers that you buy in bulk from your local seed supplier, you put on manure from farm animals ranging from cows, farm fowl and horses to cricket excrement and worm castings. In the case of organically produced livestock, you raise them as Nature would lead their close relatives to decide when to breed, give birth, and wean their young.
