What I learned at the outset was the three types of produce available, in most whole food markets. Conventional, Transitional and the ever exspensive organic.
Transitional produce is that which is being grown in an organic manner.
It does not become organic until it has been grown this way for three years. Most of customers prefered organic but accepted transitional. Their bggest concern is that we tryed to use as much organic as poossible. I have found that most seriouse vegetarians are more concerned with processed foods then they are with all the vegetables they eat being organic. I recieved most of my experience and feed back from doing a large national groups National convention for 350 people.
