Organic or local, what’s more important? Often times we ignore the little guy in favor of the big, cheap organic food for the same reason people often ignore organic food: convenience. This blogger does a great job of breaking down why local food is important. And I am certainly inclined to agree with her hierarchy in order of most desirable food:
Homegrown
Local Organic
Local
Organic from local health food store
Organic from big chain grocery
Conventional
Food Before Thought
