[The only USDA-certified organic reeds in the industry] D'Addario reeds are manufactured without the use of any chemicals, pesticides, insecticides, or synthetic fertilizers. Pursuing even greater consistency in quality and improved playability, these reeds demonstrate respect for the environment as well as for all players.

100% organically grown. Using the cane itself as fertilizer and employing an innovative hot water fumigation process, no chemicals are used in any stage of production. From farm to processing, the reeds meet and are certified under USDA organic certification standards. Furthermore, the adoption of new paper reed holders reduces plastic waste by 70,000 pounds (approximately 32 tons) annually. [What is USDA Organic Certification?] USDA (United States Department of Agriculture) certified organic cane is cultivated and processed according to U.S. federal government guidelines regarding soil quality, pest and weed control methods, and fertilizer use. Natural materials are used whenever possible, and cultivation is based on biological principles, both physically and mechanically. Certification is only granted if it can be proven that the cane was grown in soil free of prohibited substances for three years prior to harvest.
