Watch
look to where delivery services are sourcing their offerings. I personally would rather buy sustainably grown food from LOCAL farmers than an certified organic item from out of state. To build food security in Indiana, we MUST support our own farmers (not corporate factory farms who can afford to be "certified").

I agree, it is better to support the little guy locally, even when they don't come with the "organic" tag. For example, the local apples I buy are not organic, but I find them to be much crisper and tastier than the long-distance organic ones. The very fact that they don't have to travel miles makes them more nutritious, and the carbon footprint is less, and I feel good supporting my local orchard. A win/win/win!
