The
Western Montana Sustainable Growers Union has launched a new food
certification and labeling program that goes beyond USDA Organic. The
corporate takeover of the organic foods industry has resulted in
products being shipped often thousands of miles to the consumer. Many
doubt the organic label means much if it comes with a huge fossil fuel
price tag. Now, in Western Montana, you can buy organic products
labeled “Homegrown”, guaranteeing they were grown within 150 miles of
where they are sold. Independent programs like this are now cropping up
all over the country to help keep organics local. LISTEN
