Lisa,
What you go through must be very frusterating for sure. In Canada small organic farmers have a very difficult time competing with foreign producers. I know of a small organic farmer who raises turkeys. She has to abide by regulations and all sorts of red tape, none of which is required from off shore importers. The small organic farmer or any local farmer for that matter cannot compete in this sort of skewed market.
Yet governments are jumping on the band wagon of environmentalism and urging consumers to buy local.
It makes no sense!!!
