Super Organified!

Don’t believe all the ’100% organic” labeling in the grocery stores? Dude, me too! Everything these days seems to be labeled ‘green”, “earth’s best’, “100% farmer certified” “organice” blah blah…but how on earth can everything in the store which wasn’t previously labeled organic, be organic with slick green and yellow pigmented glossy labels? Well, here is an option to know you are really getting the earthliest organic stuff: and remember this key phrase, they are sure to start popping up all over the place!

Community Supported Agriculture: featured here is the Tierra Miguel Foundation. The way it works in a nutshell is you pay the farm foundation around $700 for weekly delivery, or $350 for bi-weekly delivery per season – which includes a box full of fruits, veggies & herbs free of pesticides and chemicals. This particular farm delivers in spots from the North San Fernando Valley down to San Diego & alot of places in between. You can also visit the farm and take some gardening classes, kids classes etc.

It does sound pricey, but it is actually pretty competitive when you break down the pricing from pesticide, chemically enhanced fruits from the local market, but of course you have to come out the pocket once per season rather than the weekly trip to the store. But, you do gain the benefit of tastier, non-pesticide ridden produce. I’m going to try it out for the fall season, since the whole stepford-fruit phenom that is going on at the local markets.
