Better and easier to just grow your own. I just moved off a huge 10 acre ranch - we had organic grapes, Avacados, Tomatoes, Corn, Swiss Chard, Carrots, Bell Pepers, Beans, pumpkins, watermellons and 20 different mature fruit trees. Don't sweat the "Chemically fertilized Leased land" thing - the pesticides on the raw food, this year's fertilizer, and processing & the supermarket marketing techniques are most of your worries. At least organic farmers TRY to get the food as clean and natural as posible. Check out the trade markets, organic farms, & some health food markets in your area although the later may be way too pricey. I can't eat most veggies unless I grow them - that's why I need to put that stuff in a juicer and shoot it like Tequilla.
