Organic Farming

The suffering economy has affected everything from small business to major corporations, but recent reports show an encouraging and continual upward climb for organic agriculture. Sales from organic produce are up an incredible forty-eight percent since 2006. Across the nation organic farms are popping up at what seems like an overnight rate. Organic farmers do have to be certified for production, but that hasn’t seemed to deter the growing number of people who want to become certified growers. While organic vegetables and fruits have been the main focus of organic farming, organic wine and tea production has begun to take off across the country. The future of organic farming is looking quite bright indeed with ample opportunity for farms of all sizes to be included in the organic farming community. It only reiterates that today’s consumers are informed buyers who are showing a true concern and regard for what they and their families are eating.  Organic farming is no longer just a “trend”, it is quickly becoming mainstream.
