Almost unbelieveably
Almost unbelieveably affordable in fact. I go to the organic grocery store and pale at the prices of the produce. I begin to think, only doctors and lawyers and senators can afford organic fruits and veggies. Then I go to someplace like OG2U that charge basically the same prices as the local non-organic growers market just down the street who's produce is cheaper than anywhere else in town.
I'm presuming that not only do OG2U customers pay less but that more of the money goes to the farmers, too.
I heard on the radio today that 100 years ago when someone bought food around 48% of that money went to the farmer who raised it. Today 7% of the money goes to the farmer, the rest of it to "marketing" or getting the food processed, advertised, and to market.
I also read online that organically raised crops such as corn, soybean, wheat, and hay yeild up to 100% better than conventonal crops in severe drought conditions and also during flood conditions. Organic methods create healthy topsoil that captures and retains more water in the root zone.
