Organic farmers - sing their praises

[Guest guest]

Hi Phil,

 

We constantly sing our farmers' praises around here every time we bite

into another delectable leaf of swiss chard. Seriously, good,ethical

farmers need way more respect.

 

I've often wondered how people manage the organic meals without a

source nearby. Rely on grocery stores to sell organic? Do they sell

organic in the US in grocery stores?
