Very true.  And I don't use the term 'organic' because I don't want to be 
associated with all the local grant-mongering idiots (Jeanne, that would be 
ASD 
and Anthony) and the bought and paid for pseudo definition of Organic.

BUT ... if you do less than $5000 of sales from your farm, you can call the 
produce organic with no certification.  You could be called onto the carpet 
if 
someone could prove that it wasn't organic, but you don't have to be 
certified 
until you do more than $5000 of business.
