How is organic farming received in the UK? Do people want organic local produce? Is there a market for this type of thing? How about land available for this kind of farming?

The farm wants to apply for grants to implement permaculture projects and become a community-learning center. To do so, we’d need CBO or non-profit status in Thailand, I’d imagine. Any ideas?

We own a healthfood store, & want to purchase an Organic Apple Orchard & create an organic Market & Environmental attraction to educate people about buying local & supporting Organic food. How do you find like-minded investors?

Goldar asked:


- the surrounding land
- the atmosphere
- external waterways that affect the organic farm

With things like GM crops already in the wild and widespread monoculture, how does a small farm fight this off?

By the way, I’m asking for actual farming techniques, not legislative wishes. Hoping for legislation is a bit too pie-in-the-sky and doesn’t help me today.

Meaning: good community relations, other pro-organics people for networking, available land… Must not be in the “bible belt”!!!

If a farmer had a chance to grow “organic” but was able to able to grow from a seed that was insect repellant he might be ensuring his success as a grower. However, does the concept of “organic” mean not altered in any way, or does it just mean grown w/out pesticides?

We would like to buy our meat for the year in bulk. We are looking for an organic farm that does this.

What would the people who buy organic goods be surprised that farmers/producers can use on compost, the land, the crop?

If you have good reason there are other non organic substances you can use in certified organic farming. What are these? Have you used them?

Is organic, really organic?
