$4.00 for Organic Celery

Not sure, but I had an organic banana the other day and it was good. My wife says she has been buying them for a long time. Doh!

I don't understand why people pay for celery at all. Celery is the corduroy of vegetables. It's a texture - not a taste.

Summer it's easier and cheaper with the farmer market to buy organic..plus we have urban harvest here. But to buy it from the stores in winter it is to expensive!

almost everything i buy is organic. i'm only buying for myself, so it's not a big deal; if i had to buy for a family i don't know how i'd do it.

i think it's yummy.

Organic carrots. I won't buy any other kind. They are sweeter and taste better. Same thing goes for baked potatoes...the organic ones have a creamier texture.

With the local farmers market in swing, I'll buy as much as possible local even though it's not organic. Everything tastes and looks fresh and wonderful, better than the supermarkets. Except carrots. I'll still buy organic carrots from the store.

Unless there is a source of water and oxygen that doesn't exist on earth and somehow these farmers are able to harness and access without the mingling and the juxtapositioning with the tainted soiled earth we inhabit, how can anything actually be organic? For instance - how can there be organic poultry when the animals eat and drink and breathe the same food and water and air that is polluted here? Shouldn't they be marketed as nearly organic or partially organic or semi-organic (well unless they are transported by semi trailers which would put a whole different spin here. Unless they wanted us to believe the products were transported in an environmentally friendly way too which would be a whole different spin on that falling off a turnip truck thing.) I can see how they wouldn't want to market them as unfouled fowl.

I'm fairly willing to suspend my disbelief and buy organic products under the general understanding that extra chemicals, fertilizers, and pesticides weren't applied or used. Although when one considers the nature and appurtenances of farming ... anything larger than a garden needs equipment and technological implements. Ok - so ... I don't put chemicals on my acres but I drive my tractor over the fields and just let the exhaust dust the produce and livestock as I travel by ... and then I still call it organic? See my point?

I’m in marketing - so I’m willing to pay a bit more for the products promoted as organic. I think the marketers should be rewarded for their creativity.
