Once in a while we end up with organic produce, simply because we are price conscious and it is at times cheaper than regular.
Our lamb could be certified organic, but we don’t see the advantage of certifying it. A lot of our co-vendors at farmers markets are organic, and do a brisk business. But it’s easier and far more feasible to raise organic garlic on ten acres and do a very good job with the same yields as conventional, than grain farming.
I would wager most of our personal gardens are basically organic.
Don’t confuse organic grain farming with the many other types of farming. Small scale organic is pretty simple, viable, and sustainable.
Remember, one is still a farmer even if one is not a grain farmer with a lot of acres!
I get a kick out of hunters who chat it up about their organic wild game. I didn’t know wild game ate only from organic farmers fields. Ha.
