Are you Certified Organic?
We do carry some produce that is all natural, but we're not really allowed to call
it organic because it's not certified. We choose not to certify organic because of
the high cost, government invasiveness and extreme measures now associated with
being such (e.g. a farm can not even have so much as a creosote fence pole on the
property for three years to qualify). Some fruits and vegetables are nearly impossible
to grow without the use of any pesticides whatsoever and we'd rather carry/enjoy those
fruits and vegetables than to go without.
We encourage the use of natural (vs. commercial) fertilizers and natural pest deterrents
wherever possible and we are encouraging our farmers to move more and more toward
"sustainable farming" and "organic practices", but our main selling points are farm fresh,
local (Tennessee grown) and small farmer produced.
