Well if this is true then I’m going back to low cost pesticide products.
Sounds as if organic farm lawyers sicced their lawyers on the competition.
That is “organic farmers”. Sorry.
OMG! I totally forgot about this song! Thanks for posting ;)
Unfortunately, the USA produces very little tea, so it must be imported.
I did visit a tea plantation near Charleston. It was probably about 5 acres. I was told tea is becoming popular among hobby farmers in the area.
The climate and elevation of North Georgia and Upstate S. Carolina should be quite suitable to tea production. Given its popularity in the 18th century, I’m surprised the colonists and early states didn’t attempt more plantations.
‘Organic’ seems to mean “we can tell you this thing is produced without pesticides (even though you have no proof) and charge you a higher price.”
going back to low cost pesticide products.
Just put the tea bags in your garden, too
Don’t panic, it’s organic.
Wow, that song brings me back to my high school days.
