I know my farmer, and not only get to talk to him each week about how things are going on the farm, but also get lots of information about each item in my box, how to cook it and what's coming the following week!<BR/><BR/>The farms I get meat, chickens, eggs and such from also are organic and those managing them are accessible and enjoy sharing information about what they're doing and how things are going. Something you'll not experience if you're just buying "off the shelf" in a supermarket, organic or not!.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09224160356421549054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13260386.post-1160925801725081332006-10-15T10:23:00.000-05:002006-10-15T10:23:00.000-05:00Tiffany -Thank you!

In a free market system there is no way of stopping this from happening, unfortunately. Buying local, and supporting CSAs is still the way to go, even if it doesn't carry the organic label.K.

It's not that the big organic farms aren't organic. If your primary concern is avoiding pesticides in your body, they're still a perfectly valid choice. They just aren't the lifestyle choice that the farmer's market is. That doesn't make them bad; it just means that there are multiple factors to weigh in your choice of what to buy.Debbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01222421148484839611noreply@blogger.com
