They are home grown on farms that contain no chemicals. In order for a food to be considered organic it has to be grown on farms that has had no chemicals on the ground or in the air for at least two years. It is thought that it takes that long for chemicals to die out or wash away so they are no longer in the soil. There are many farmers markets springing up across the country and they are selling organic foods. People are flocking to these markets to buy their fresh foods because they are tired of the poisons. Many people have experienced, first hand, just what the poison chemicals are doing to them or to their kids.
