"This is truly frightening news," the author of a new study said. "Lacing pesticides with forever chemicals is likely burdening the next generation with more chronic diseases and impossible cleanup responsibilities."

    CSAs are cheaper than buying from middle men, in my experience. and they’re usually organic.

        Community Supported Agriculture

        https://wikipedia.org/wiki/Community-supported_agriculture

        Basically an org (usually nonprofit) serves as a buying club direct from a bunch of farmers, and they split the harvest amongst their members. Its a great way to get organics for cheap, and to support your local farmer.

          This is exactly the sort of thing I’m looking for, thank you!

            Bonus: some CSAs offer free food to organizers who help run the CSA (eg unload the truck and split-up the produce into boxes for each member, and organize pickups from the members).

            So its a great way for people with more time than money to feed themselves healthy food for free
