Chef William feels strongly that as well as buying local, shoppers should make an effort to pick up organic products.  Why?  As a classically trained chef, he knows about all the harmful chemicals involved in much of the world’s food production processes, and wants consumers to be aware of what they’re eating.  To keep off pest populations and encourage crop growth, most mass-production farmers and producers use dangerous chemicals that not only change the balance of the soil after use, they stick onto the product and are ingested in small amounts after purchase. 
As for seasonal eating, the Chef knows that fruits and vegetables picked while in their natural harvest season will be packed with flavor and more nutrients and vitamins than if they are eaten at any other time of the year.  He understands that working within nature’s cycle can be complicated for the average citizen, and so works towards achieving these principles of organic, local and seasonal foods in his work.
