[Guest guest]

I am not suprise to hear that, but where can I find those products that are being produced at small farms. I live in St Louis and if you know anything close by,please let me know. thanks in advance Sonja Duze! Bravo so well said.As a small fledgling herb farm who doesn't sell enough to utilize "the governments certification of organic" I've researched this subject myself and am going with a program that certifies small farms with a naturally grown labeling. We are policed by each other.People would be so surprised to see what the government is allowing as "organic" I know doc says to buy organic and he is right but.....wellthere are also small growers who are even better than organic.JMHOPlease don't shoot the messenger lol.Federal Law requires that we warn you of the following: 1. Natural methods can sometimes backfire. 2. If you are pregnant, consult your physician before using any natural remedy. 3. The Constitution guarantees you the right to be your own physician and toprescribe for your own health.

Hello Sonja to answer your question you can go to

http://www.naturallygrown.org/ to find small farms in your area that

have products that are grown with even stricter rules than some of

the governments rules for growing organic.

You can also find local farms at http://www.localharvest.org/

The following organizations have communicated encouragement and

support, or provided help in getting this program running:
