I buy either organic or locally-grown as often as I can. I will NEVER buy supermarket tomatoes (other than the grape ones, or the ones in a can, which actually have a different source here in the US). Most tomatoes here may as well be cardboard. In winter, I am less veggie-picky (other than the tomatoes).
I grow some of my own veggies - mine are "organic" but they lack the expensive designation and they lack the paper trail that is required here to be listed legally as organic. End of season here in New England, and not ready with my greenhouse or my low tunnels to extend the season. (NEXT year!) A lot of local farmers are also not certified organic - but I do my best to support those who seem to be reliable about the produce they grow.
