So what’s the deal with organic foods? Now more than ever you see labels on certain foods that say organic. Well, in a nutshell organic foods are supposed to be grown without the use of pesticides and chemicals. Some farmers claim these chemicals are needed to help them grow, others say no way. There are also groups out there that push organic food sales. They say that this way of farming is better for the environment.

So what do you buy? Well, the next time you are in the store and the produce section is not labeled properly then you can look at the 4 digit code on the produce. If it is organic it will have a 9 at the beginning making it a 5 digit code starting with the number 9.
