The Wall Street Journal recently ran two articles about organic food: Would Americans Be Better Off Eating a Mostly Organic Diet? followed by A Gap in Organic Food Chain

It redoubled my commitment to utilizing my property to grow as much organic food as I can to share with others (I can grow more than I can eat in my yard) and supporting local organic farms.

More and more it looks like that’s the direction we need to go.
