I'm a member of Organic Consumers Association and an active OCA

activist. While organics are becoming more available and we are getting

better definitions for what is and is not organic, we still have a ways

to go. More information about OCA can be found at:

I suggest folks look a litle closer at their " organic " and especially

" wildcrafted " herb sources. I believe there are way too many claiming

these which are just not true. There are several versions of " organic "

also. Unless they are certified they could be almosty anyones idea of

" organic " . Typically organic items cost more and when I see items

online labled " organic " at retail prices very close to what I can

purchase non-organics at wholesale, I'm pretty certain they are not

truly organic.

As for " wildcrafted " herbs, again, supply doesn't match demand. I ran a

computer simulation concerning foraging over a 20sq miles plot with 4

people in a typical modern rural agricultural area and they ran out of

foragables within 30 days. This included big and small game as well as

edible plants. On a large scale wildcrafting isn't going to provide

several pounds of anything to any number of people. I suspect some toss

seeds in some area of their lot and discover it later on and declare it

wildcrafted. I suppose if it's not grown in rows and columns they think

this is a true statement.
