We belong to a CSA here in Connecticut and they’re pretty upfront about the fact that though they use organic growing methods, they can’t legally call their poultry and produce organic.

Organic means that the molecules that make up the material contain carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. There are plenty of highly toxic organic compounds that I don’t want anywhere near me.
