re: #405 SixDegrees

True several years ago, but organic farmers have wised up, realized that looks are important, and now produce goods as visually appealing as those you’ll find at any megamart.

Whether the methods used by each are different enough to justify the costs is another matter.

Right now, the organic strawberries at our local market taste much better than their commercially raised counterparts. It’s a seasonal treat, no matter how you look at it, and I don’t mind paying the extra buck per basket for the additional flavor.

Thanks to our modern world, fresh strawberries are now available year ‘round - but those purchased out of season, probably grown on another continent and bred for shipment rather than flavor, suck and are not worth eating.

Sometimes natural - wild, free range - is significantly better. I luvz me some bass and some venison. And wild berries have a tastier bite.
