“Organic” foods. Best food scam since the invention of “fat free”.
I’ll bet the base seed stock for that “organic” corn is genetically manipulated.
What about the arugula. Can’t eat my waffles in peace until I know about the arugula.
Sac Valley, around Davis: 5 for a buck. Or better.
How much of that price is courtesy of it being ‘organic’ (not that I’ve ever heard of ‘inorganic’ corn)?
Usually the “organic” prices here aren’t too outrageous compared to either our farmers’ market or the grocery store. It’s worth the premium. But, if you’ll take a trip down memory lane, this price isn’t really surprising if a single ear/no organic premium at the supposedly bargain basement COMMISSARY two weeks ago was fortyfour cents.
Yup, you are paying for the word organic. Bought 3 ears at a Jersey Farmer’s Market for 56 cents an ear – white Jersey corn and I don’t care if it’s organic or not. Sad part – I remember when it used to be back in the “old days” $1.99/dozen, sigh…
But FIFTY SIX CENTS AN EAR!!!! In teh dead of SUMMER!?! That’s outrageous!!
Thank YOU, ethanol and Obama Administration Summer of Wreckovery, Part D’Oh!
