I buy from local farmers markets and farms whenever possible. They are not always certified organic, but you can talk to the farmer and many of them use organic methods. That's a little harder in the winter.
I also grow alot of my own food--at a minimum lettuce and greens (collards, kale, chard). I'm building a cold frame in hopes that I can grow salad greens all winter, and collards and kale grow here in winter (or rather they stay, they don't necessarily grow).
Even if food is "organic," if it's grown in New Zealand and shipped to Virginia, I figure I can do alot better from a closer source.
