We are heading out to our little farm this weekend to plant our veggies. It really is a great feeling to grow your own food. If you haven’t done it you definitely need to try it. Now that the weather has changed, we are getting ready to garden. I am quite excited.

Not all farmers at the markets are certified organic (it’s VERY expensive to get that certification) but they do still grow their food without chemicals or added hormones. Talk to the farmers, they’re usually very cool and informative, happy to discuss your food needs with you.

Firstly, we probably need some definitions to clarify the comparison. Farmers use chemical fertilizers to supply the plants with nutrients to make crops grow faster, use herbicides to control weeds so they don’t compete with the crops and pesticides to kill off insect pests that can eat the plants and lower production.
