Why are not all farms organic?

Not all farms are organic due to various factors, including the higher costs and labor-intensive practices associated with organic farming. Conventional farming methods often use synthetic fertilizers and pesticides, which can lead to higher yields and lower prices, making them more appealing for many farmers. Additionally, some farmers may lack access to organic certification processes or the knowledge required to transition to organic practices. Economic pressures and market demand also play significant roles in determining farming methods.

Why do farmers prefer inorganic farming?

Typically farmers choose inorganic or conventional farming because 1) that is what they are accustomed to, and 2) cost efficiency. To be considered organic not only do you have to practice organic farming but you also have to buy a permit or license that costs quiet a bit of money. Also man made pesticides are much cheaper than the organic alternatives. Many farms are passed along through generations and have been taught by their parents or grandparents. This makes changing the identity or practices of your farm difficult because this is the way you were taught and how it has always been.

Are all fruits and vegetables at a Farmers Market organic?

No, not really. Most organic farmers like to tell that they are so they can sell to people who want only organic. Ask the farmer if he is or not. He'll tell you. Organic means no chemicals, pesticides or fertilizers, at a farmers market you will find wholesome fresh picked straight from the vine vegetables, but to certify that they have never come into contact with any chemicals of any kind is a different matter altogether, that is why organic ( certified ) cost so much. Trust me you will be very happy with the food you get at the farmers market, and it will be a lot better than anything you can get at a chain store.
