Growers and Grocers

Here at Growers & Grocers, we complain about the ever-weakening definition for “organic.” Did you know, for instance, that you can put “organic” on a milk carton even if the cows are stuffed into an environmentally destructive feedlot? And originally came from a conventional farm?

Here’s your chance to effect a change. The USDA has requested public comments on the “access to pasture” clause of the organic definition for milk. Consumer groups are rallying the troops to take advantage of this opportunity.

Fight for standards that give you correct information about the food you buy. Go to the Organic Consumers Association and sign their petition.
