Foods that are grown where pesticides and herbicides have not been used for at least three years are referred to as organically grown foods.
These foods not only taste better, in my opinion, but provide for sustainable farming.
There are other requirements and regulations that follow specific guidelines (called NOP). It is a process at present overseen by the USDA and certified organizations. Organic foods are readily available in two of Sedona's larger supermarkets. Demand has grown so much in the past decade that a real industry has developed around it.
The organic label is not perfect; some organic foods are today mass produced and grown in places where the cheapest labor can be found. Fortunately there are still a lot of local, small organic farmers who offer excellent quality foods.
