3. As a Master Fitness Instructor and health
enthusiast of over 10 years, teaching others how
to eat right and take care of their bodies was
something I had already been doing. Growing
my family and seeing a need for good nutrition
and healthy people was the inspiration behind “
Trussler’s Pantry”
Every Healthy person starts with Healthy Food. It
was simple, I wanted to source healthy organic
foods and get it to everyone's table.

5. Understanding the Importance of
ORGANIC Farming
Organic Agriculture is a production system that sustains the health of soils, ecosystems and
people. Organic foods have gained popularity because people have become aware of their benefits.
Pesticides, Insecticides, Herbicides, Fungicides have been around for a while but they only really got
moving in the 1980.
KIDS - FAMILY - COMMUNITY:Researchers have found that children who grow up in agricultural
areas with pesticide use have a “significantly increased risk” of developing cancer.Studies have
found that chronic, lower dose exposure is associated with respiratory problems, memory disorders,
skin conditions, depression, miscarriage, birth defects, cancer etc…
OUR ENVIRONMENT:Rainwater washes chemicals - such as pesticides in agricultural communities.
Pesticides can persist for long periods in an ecosystem; organochlorine insecticides, for instance, are
still detectable in surface waters 30 years after their use and had been banned. In the food chain,
they meet with nontarget organisms, including mankind.They accumulate in the body tissues of
organisms and cause a number of health problems
