Abstract:
Organic farming, or farming without chemical pesticides or synthetic fertilizers, began in the state in the late 1970s. The market has expanded from vegetables to include fruits, grains, cut flowers, and medicinal and cooking herbs. Currently there are over fifty certified organic farmers in the state. Most farms are around three acres, but the acreage is increasing.
