Guest guest Posted April 3, 2005 Report Share Posted April 3, 2005 Oh.. I have hear that getting to know the farmers are the best way to get great organic fruits and veggies... but my question would be... how does one " get to know " these farmers? how would you know if they are telling the truth? what questions do you ask them.. Since I am rather shy in person... I would not even know how to open a conversation regarding weather their produce is organic or not... then if I did happen to ask them out right... where would I go from there. I do not know that much about organic gardening so I would not be educated enough to know what kinds would be better then what... or what questions to ask to make sure they actually knew what they were doing....

Guest guest Posted April 3, 2005 Report Share Posted April 3, 2005 There is an organization called wwoofter [i think I have that right anyway, I can check if it doesn't work in a search which is all about people travelling to organic farms and having experience working on such in exchange for their lodgings. Now, I am not suggesting is what any of you want to do -- although it might be -- however, the wwoofter home page does list host families, and it might be worth seeing if there are any in your area. I would have thought they would not mind being contacted as 1) they are used to people contacting them about what they do, they are listed in wwoofters, and 2) it may be a way of getting exactly what you need either by purchase or barter. Again, it might be a wild goose chase [wild yam chase??] but I thought it was worth a mention. Peace be with your spirit, enjoy the day. rainbow " Gypsi at www.aromaticwings.com " <aromatic_wings wrote: Oh..
