Growing your own is the best way to go!.
Nothing beats picking a basket of fresh veggies for a spinach salad
or for making some stir fry!. Farmers markets are the next best thing!. But organic in food stores are not truly organic, and all the stores that sell veggies have them shipped in, so they will never be near as fresh as from your own yard!. Green thumb up! I do it and I love it! Www@FoodAQ@Com

3!. Avoiding patronage of supermarkets reduces the carbon footprint of your food!. Vegetables are often shipped in from hundreds and sometimes even thousands of miles on eighteen wheelers!.
4!. You've stopped buying vegetables that contribute to inadvertent animal deaths!. Billions of animals are plowed over every year when farmers harvest large commercial crops!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

The closer they are grown to where you live, the fresher they are and have more nutrients!.
Personally, I grow a little (herbs and tomatoes), but I buy a lot at the local farmers market!.
