Organics: Meaningful or Market Niche?

I highly recommend this article in Lip Magazine's summer issue. It was called Organics: Meaningful or Market Niche?,
by Ariane Conrad Hyde and Erin Wiegand. It had lots of cool facts about how the organic industry is just another industry and stuff.

I'm finally reading John Jeavons's How to Grow More Vegetables. It's weird, cuz I have done so much of this under Herman's tutelage already. Basically what I mean by that is that I have done lots of double digging.
