"sals" <sals3 AT cox.net> wrote the truth and did it well, but I would wonder at the possibilities of trading the hassel and expence of certification for the opportunity to build on retail direct to the consumer using a beyond organic moniker. To be certified is to be no better than the mega growers like Earthbound, Horizon or "Mission Organics, a supplier to Natural Selection Foods"( the most likely supplier of the problem sipnach) which I think I can assure you that the organic founders never had in mind.
I think the organic founders had in mind that the consumer should know their grower, visit his farm, see his work, understand his pholisophy, and buy his product; to think that having the government list the hoops to be jumped through to gain the use of a magic word thereby imporving the diet and health of the nation is utter bullshud.
