Most frequently asked question: "Are you organic?"

We used the term "organic" to describe Windfall Farms before the United States Department of Agriculture began its national organic certification program. It set a lower standard than the original certifiers, allowing large industrial farms to be called "organic" while maintaining many unethical agricultural and labor practices. We no longer endorse the term, but still endorse many organic farms and organizations that hold themselves to higher standards.

We suggest you don't trust the term "organic" to mean you are getting any combination of local, fresh,poison-free food, which incidentally is what we grow and sell.
