Just a caution about Amish vegetables: My parents sold most of the
their farm to 2 Amish families (this is in Ohio).  They grow veggies
and sell them at roadside stands. They use more chemicals on their
plants than my mother does, and they get stuff she has never even
*heard* of, serious agro-chemical stuff. So, just because it comes
from an Amish farm does not necessarily mean it's organic. I'm sure if
they specifically say it is organically grown, it is, but don't
*assume* it's organic if it comes from an Amish farm.
