It's not like we didn't see this coming. C'mon, Whole Foods choosing
integrity over $$$? Puh-leeze. I knew WFs orgainic stance was a sham
when they announced they were setting up a 26K acre organic farm.
Anyone who knows the basics of organic farming knows you can't have an
ag footprint that big and still remain organic.

WF has been a unrelenting marauder since it took over its first
competitor. Nothing's changed. In fact, WFs is even more rapacious
than ever. It's been working at redefining "organic" since day one.
It may have the yuppies and the hippies snowed, but I've seen too much
of their eee-ville to believe anything good at all about WF.

That and the fact that a lot of their produce is imported and not all that
fresh. I've seen some stuff in their market I wouldn't buy regardless of
price, and their price ain't cheap. They are hijacking a movement which
could bring the small mom and pop farm back to reality.


Wild Oats was the good organic market around here. They have been
assimilated. RIP.

I agree with you about Whole Foods, but you're wrong about the 26
acre farms. It's quite possible. We know and buy from farmers who have
40 + acre farms and are able to do so, profitably, using organic
methods. The trick is not to have just one type of crop, to sell
directly to your customer and to rotate both your crops and your
animals. Remember how the homesteaders were given 160 acres? Before
pesticides and chemical fertilizers? It can be done. It's hard work,
takes lots of planning, but it can be done.
