During the Bulls v. Celtics half time, I found this piece in the New York Times showing the hot spots for organic agriculture in the country.
Unlike farms in general, which are spread fairly evenly across the country, organic farms are largely concentrated in just a few geographic areas.
Much of the South will have to wait until farming practices change before they’ll have much access to local, organic produce. But the Northeast and Northwest are flush with organic farms that sell directly to consumers, the Times notes.
Organic agribusinesses — the mega organic farms — are flourishing in California.
Don’t miss the organic hot spots map to see the concentrations represented by little dots.
