BUT at the same time, is local more important than organic, yes. can you be organic without the certification, of course. the farmer i work for, chris, gets upset because he is certified and has to pay the fees and do all the drama associated with it and when he tells people he's certified customers respond, 'who isn't'. maybe we would all discuss whether or not certification is important or whether we should all get over it and eat dinner together. i listened to this because, sadly, i didn’t see it live. but
