Grow Your Own Food You don’t need a farm to grow some of your own food, you just need a small raised bed, a window box, or even just some old soda bottles hung from the fire escape. Herbs are also easy to grow, which can eliminate the need to buy the dried-out bottled stuff.

I do think that eating produce, regardless of whether the produce is organic, is important, but if you are making changes for your health, organic is the way to go.
