Where to Buy Organic Food
More and more businesses, including restaurants, co-ops, and
even supermarkets, are making organic foods available to consumers. Many people are surprised to find out how
much more expensive organic foods are than non-organic foods. But organically produced foods have to meet
stricter regulations governing their harvesting than do conventional
foods. The intensive management and
labor used in organic production is frequently more expensive than the
chemicals that conventional farms use.
And the end result--healthier and more environmentally friendly food--is
well worth the higher price tag.
The following are some businesses known for their organic
