Which is better: foods (as in fruits and vegetables) that are grown locally or those that are organic?

locally grown over organic if the organic food is coming more than 500 miles. The distance traveled can ex out the benefits of growing it organically.

Additionally, buying local strengthens the local economy and supports local agriculture. Buying organic at a national chain does not.

Of course best, is local and organic

    i would say out of the two ,
    organic because it is chemical free and natural as in grown locally they can still use chemicals on it…
    but locally grown organic fruits and veggies are even better !!

About Author

I've been an avid gardener most of my life and I've always had an interest in organic gardening. My parents always had gardens when I was a child and while I can't say that no chemicals were used, most products and methods used to maintain the garden were natural. Now that I have a garden of my own (past 7 years) I've gone strictly organic. This blog is my attempt to share Organic Gardening Tips with you.
