i remember the first time i had an in season tomato from a farm when i was real little.
Never knew why tomatoes were considered fruit until that experience.
Never knew tomatoes were sweet.
i like organic foods and i am near alot of organic farms but sometimes you just want to go to wal mart and get some watermelon oreos.

I try to maintain a mix, things that I know are bad for me, but that I buy anyways come from the grocery store, veggies/fruit I try to get farmers markets/local vendors, meat I tend to go to local butchers that source their stuff from small farms. Seafood we get at an open air market right off the docks. Planning what to eat is the biggest challenge in organizing how I'm going to procure everything, if I don't plan ahead then I end up in the grocery store picking up stuff that I know I could get for less money or better quality some place else, but when pressed for time I go with what's closer.

theres plenty of non GMO seeds, just dont get seeds from companies that purchase from monsanto/seminis. look for ones that have signed the safe seed pledge.
http://www.cherrygal.com/ is pretty good
theres also baker creek, southern exposure, sow true, bountiful gardens, victory.
http://www.tradewindsfruit.com/ has some interesting stuff
you want to look for open pollinated untreated seeds. with OP seeds you can save seed and replant the next year and the variety will grow true to form.

Don't have the patience to grow my food, nor the right land.

farms, farmers markets, public market, food terminal. i got a connect in flawda for tropical fruits. i need to scope out a good local pick your own farm here.how do you get the rest of the food you can't grow?
i do shop at grocery stores sometimes
could be but i'll trust that they're honest. most of the ones that grow without chemicals are totally against spraying and GMOs so they will proudly tell you how they grow their crops. one of the stands i buy from greenhouse/hydroponically grows and that stuff is not sprayed. i've also asked the same vendors on multiple occasions whether they spray just to see if they tell me different one day. they will go into detail about exactly what they use. several have told me without reserve that they use chemical fertilizers/pesticides/herbicides etc so i dont think any of them blatantly lie.
hell the ones that arent certified organic are usually more organic. would you rather trust the large corporation organics that slap on the USDA label or a local farmer?
if you wanna make sure the farmer isnt using GMO seeds, just ask them if they save seed.
a lot of them do actually
yea, i got a supreme plant and a pepperoni plant on the porch. pick a slice off they should be ripe by now.
word, gotta get ur brotein and red #40
