How do you figure, in CA it has a legal definition set forth by the powers that be. The issue I see is that it varies depending on location and what they deem organic or safe if you will. Certified organic to me just says someone is paying a lot of extra fees and dealing with tons of red tape. The produce I buy from trusted farmers is mostly not certified organic but I know/ have "faith" in how they tend to the crops and the earth. The circle is small enough that I would think they would be honest about it.

Why are you even bringing this up again, we've talked about this so many times already.
