Without question the organic food movement has been growing by leaps and bounds.  In 2009 alone, there were 24. 8 billion dollars in organic food sales. Currently over 4.8 million acres of America’s farmland are dedicated to organic farming.  As the green movement continues to gain steam, individuals are turning to growing their own organic gardens, beginning their own organic farms, or even buying interest in an ongoing organic venture- a revolution if you will -of people seeking to get closer to mother earth, and contributing to the healing of our food supply.
