Why not local AND organic?

I agree! Buy local produce! It just makes sense: Lower cost of transportation, fresher tastier fruits & veggies, and OUR state benefits from the tax revenue. Who DOESN'T want more money going to our schools, fire departments and police force? Not to mention all the jobs that we would keep or add if more Californians get on board!

Why not also buy organic? I want to reward the local farmers who don't use pesticides and preservatives by purchasing the healthier, yummier organic foods. I also want to support the California dairy farmers who DON'T inject their cows full of drugs that get transferred to the milk we drink, and DO allow their cows to graze.
