Unreal... just unreal.  I know that the farmers market about 15 miles from us is about this bad now too.  Luckily, the little local one is much simpler, but there is still a fee to participate and of course the gov still owns "organic".

I don't know about politics.  It says 2009 Co-op Farmers market.  The co-op makes the rules.  If he doesn't like it he doesn't have to join. 

The title "organic" has been owned by the FDA as part of the organic certification process.  Again, as long as he does under $5000 in sales a year he doesn't even have to get the certification as he stated.  Seems like he is just trying to manufacture outrage.
