![]() ![]() The USDA recently scrapped new animal welfare standards for organic certification at the behest of these CAFOs. Eggs from Cal-Maine, Herbruck, or Petaluma/Organic Valley are from CAFOs.) The USDA turns a blind eye to this illegal production. (Most milk from Horizon and all from Aurora Dairy is produced in CAFOs. ![]() ) Enormous ‘ Confined Animal Feeding Operations ’ (CAFOs) with no access for the animals to outdoor pastures (as the regulations demand) are producing the majority of the “organic” milk and eggs in this country. (A lawsuit to stop that was overruled with USDA collusion. Undesirable additives are allowed in your “organic” prepared foods. If the “organic” tomatoes and cucumbers come from Wholsum Harvest or imported from Holland, Canada or Mexico, they are hydroponic.) (If the “organic” berries come from Driscols, they are hydroponic. ![]() Hydroponic vegetables, grown without soil using artificial lighting and nutrient solutions from the chemistry lab, are sold everywhere as “USDA Certified Organic” with no mention of hydroponic anywhere on the label. The USDA National Organic Program has been totally corrupted by the money, power, and influence of industrial food corporations. The USDA refuses to uphold the honest, old-time, carefully stewarded farming practices that organic has always represented. However, we are not “USDA Certified Organic” – I repeat – NOT. Four Season Farm in Harborside, Maine has been farmed organically since its inception in 1968. ![]()
