Suminter's commitment to organic farming directly benefits the environment and those living on and around the farms that convert to organic, by eliminating chemical fertilizers, pesticides, herbicides, and insecticides from the farming process. Not only do organic farming practices promote the health of the soil, air, and water in which crops are grown, they also produce crops that have no chemical residues and a higher nutrient content than conventionally grown crops. These factors benefit the health of the end-consumers, who are increasingly aware of the environmental and health benefits of eating and buying organic.
