Leave a reviewListener Cecilia wrote in to ask: “Why does organic food cost more than non organic food?” And she’s right! Certified organic foods do usually cost more than other options.

Ryan’s inspired to try his own hand at organic farming … but will his crops be able to survive an attack of horn worms, a stampede of chickens and a dustbowl to turn a profit at the farmer’s market?
