      With the harvest season almost over in many areas of the country, locating certifiable organic food can become more difficult. Many local farmer's markets may still be selling fresh produce but you can also locate your favorite foods at your local grocery store. Some stores have identifiable sections that are strictly organic or pesticide free. Another way is to look for the seal from the USDA. This seal is part of the National Organic Program or the NOP. It offers its stamp of approval on all foreign and domestic produce and its handling. The seal, which is green and white and reads USDA ORGANIC, is an easy way to recognize organic foods that meet the USDA’s standards. It allows for an easy way to find the organic foods that are important to you health and lifestyle.
