I feel the same way about local vs. organics! Some people I talk to just don't get it. Example- my eggs I get a doz. cage free, hormone free eggs local grower(smile), they just can't afford the stinkin' USDA label! They come a whole whoppin' 20 miles away! Some will fuss over the organic label and they can't be a good as the eggs from up north!!!! Yes we need to support organics but then we need to use our God-givin noodles and think WHY are we supporting in the first place! Way-to-go-Sara!

I was just directed to your blog, interesting stuff! I was actually just complaining about the lack of organics in Montana (grew up in Nor Cal). Bookmarked this to check more into later. We're in Roundup and it seems like everything is 50 miles away, so it hardly makes any sense to drive that far just to grocery shop so I can get organics, ya know? Hi!

Also look for shade grown coffee...it saves the birds! As for clothing...a great source would be American Apparel. American made and fair wages. Great company.<BR/><BR/>Living on Faith...If you have a large chain grocery store in your area, I can almost bet that they will carry some organics. Even in really small towns across the nation, they are starting to get a lot of organics. Start out with the "dirty dozen" and work from there. The dirty dozen is a list of fruits and veggies that are the worst offenders when it comes to pesticides. Google on it...there is a lot of great info out there. Thanks for stopping by! nikki…I’m currently vegetarian (eating eggs and occasionally cheese), but have been vegan and raw vegan in the past.

I've never bought organic food before, but have really considered changing. I wish we had a Farmers Market in my area. We have a Fresh Market with organic food. Its crazy expensive.

I've been reading your blog for the last few months, and I LOVE IT!!! I have gleaned so much information, and I am sooo interested in all this stuff you talk about! Thank you for sharing your insight! I just wanted to ask you about fair trade coffee, chocolate and clothing. What are your thoughts and practices with this, and do you have any advice about where and where not to shop when it comes to fair trade? Thanks! Hey Sara!
