...Organic?
Organic food is produced without using synthetic pesticides, chemical fertilizers, bioengineered seeds, or ionizing radiation. Organic meat, poultry, eggs, and dairy products come from animals that are given no antibiotics or growth hormones. Certified organic growers must follow a set of rules, pass inspections, provide documentation, and pay a fee to become certified. About 45% of the farms that sell at the FPFM are certified organic. Many others are not certified organic but use ecological farming practices.
