Reply To: Is "organic" food better?

In my time in NY i gardened extensively, and among other things, I grew tomatoes. Once you experience a well grow, vine ripened open pollinated tomato, you have a real safek about the bracha on anything less. L’aniyas da’ati, a supermarket tomato is a shehakol. Many of the things I grew (small scale is really easy to do organic) often never made it as far as the kitchen back door.
