		<description><![CDATA[I have just had it with the mainstream &#8220;organic&#8221; and &#8220;natural&#8221; movement.  What started as a grass-roots effort for people to live healthier lives while rejecting the constant pollution of our soil, air and water with chemicals and monster seeds has now, obviously, turned into nothing but a hypocrital money maker.  I will henceforth be boycotting Whole Foods, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Frank Barrie does.  He&#8217;s the owner/operator/blogger/editor/book reviewer extraordinaire for KnowWhereYourFoodComesFrom.com.  I was introduced to the site by a simple email from Frank informing me they had included our farm in their directory of CSAs and asking I check it for accuracy.  When I did I was surprised to see how comprehensive the site is and [...]]]></description>
