Why organic? April 24 2011, 1:17pm via nisekogreenfarm.com

There is so much research being done on the effect of chemical fertilizers, pesticides and cloned food and nobody really knows for sure yet what is good and what is bad for us.
One thing that does effect us all, is ourlocal economy and money. We never seem to get a rent reduction from a sympathetic landlord, who smiles and says: go buy some books for your kids, or take them out on a fun day.   We are only as strong as our local economy. Supporting this is essential. By going to major supermarkets, the local grocery shops have all disappeared and with it it’s charm and local flair and the place to pick up the local gossip.
Slowly all small businesses are disappearing.
A farm is the same thing.
If you go local and buy your eggs, vegetables and fruit etc. directly from the farm, you know where the produce comes from and that it is fresh.
The farmer gets a better price than if he would dump it on the wholesale market, everybody happy.
By going local, ask your farmer if he does or if he can grow organic. Most farmers have a little veggie patch that is organic, just for them selves.
When you eat organic you can be 100% sure you are not eating something harmful.
If the farmers realize there is market  and better value for them in organics, they will make that shift. If the supermarkets realize people want local and organic, they will make that effort as well.  It makes the world a better place.
Below is an article with one reason to be sceptical about eating pesticide rich food.

do yourself a favour: go local, go organic.
