Pesticide Free vs. Organic
I was grocery shopping the other day and saw these cute little cherry/grape tomatoes that tasted amazing. I glanced over the package and saw that it was "certified pesticide free" so I grabbed a package. When I got home, I looked at the package again and noticed that while it was "certified pesticide free" it didn't say organic. I checked out the company's website and again, they attest they are pesticide free, but nowhere did they say organic.
So gang, my question is this...what do you think are the differences between pesticide free and organic? I have an idea, but just wanted to get some other's opinions. Thanks. :)
Here's the company's website too in case you are interested: www.eurofresh.com

Organic certification costs. Smaller companies' produce may be just as good, if not better, than 'USDA Certified'.

Organic also doesn't mean NO pesticides. It just means "certified ok for organic" pesticides were used (whatever that means. I guess there's a big list of "you can spray this on & still be called organic" pesticides somewhere).

Yeah, there are plenty of small farmers who refuse to pay the price for certification. I met a guy last year who calls his food "beyond organic." He thinks the government's definition of organic is a total joke.
I can't attest to Eurofresh, but you may want to contact them directly and find out what the story is.

That sounds like fun.. There is a thing called double dutch where two girls hold two ropes and you have to jump them both at the same time.. maybe you could find a couple of girls to try this with you. It's pretty impressive when you see it..
We liked when they rearranged the letters on the school sign to say nasty things.
I feel your pain. I did this a few times before finally giving up. :(
