I have been organic for about 10year. Went organic due to asthma. I was tired of take all the mediation and decided to find another way to deal with the illness. With in two years I was off all mediation and have not had an attack since. I love what Cornucopia is doing. I hope more people will join the food movement and back the family farmers. Thanks for Spirit In Action. It a wonderful thing.
