Can a farmer just say what he uses /doesn't use on his farm?
There is stilll freedom of speech in this country. It's a shame that
using the term organic when connected to produce has to cost$$$$$$.
So screw the term, and educate the consumer instead... They wanna know
anyway,
If the quality is there----- they will be repeat customer-----
and( iwould think) be more willing to pay a premium price comparable to
organic but w/o the label... how about a small display poster telling
"Joe/sephine Consumer" how the crops are grown -and what is AND IS NOT
used to produce that crop/product.How this scheme could carry over into
package labeling or flyers in the produce section is beyond me tho...
I realize this is much more complex when talking about anything
above the level of say a farmers market,,,,
