Back to the Basics...of Organic

Because this blog is still in its infancy, I thought now would be a good time to lay some groundwork for organic food before too many posts are created. First off, we throw around this term "organic" without really defining it in the first place. What is organic? How are organic products labeled? How does a farm become certified to grow organic crops?  Read about the basics of organic ingredients and foods at the following link.

And if the previous link got you going, read the following article to learn the personal, environmental, and societal benefits of going organic.
