Farmers Markets
Posted by: na(raw)dia ()

So I just recently started getting my fruits and veggies from several local farmer's markets and since some of them don't have (or don't display) organice certification, how do I know it's really organic?

I can ususally taste the difference, but how can I be 100% sure? Also most of the farmers when asked if their produce is organic, say yes! Do I just take their word for it?

What do you think?

Opinion:

-Eating healthy is not synonymous with Organic and eating organic food is not a rite of passage! LOL. You never really KNOW about how your produce was grown unless you grow it yourself! Ha! ha!

-You can only do what you can do. If eating organic is a priority, you ask the farmers - yes. Unless you are willing and able to ask them to tour their farm...you WON'T know....and just have to judge by the quality / taste of the produce...and the assurances of the farmer and their reputation (if any).

-What do you think?
