It seems more and more people keep buying organic foods, and they are willing to pay sky high prices. Just last week while on vacation, I saw my aunt and uncle buying absolutely everything organic, even sunscreen for my young cousin.
To me, it seems ridiculous that people pay so much more money for an organic apple that is soft. Things like organic milk, organic honey, organic eggs, are these things even that much healthier for you?
From your perspective, perhaps as a farmer growing fruits or vegetables, what do you think about organic produce? Obviously eating healthy is good, but it seems like a lot of this is just a marketing scheme.
I do not mean to ruffle any feathers, I am actually just curious about what actual farmers think about everyone buying everything organic.
