Your Questions About Organic Vegetables And Fruits

Nancy asks‌

What is a good career for a horticulture major? I attend Penn State University and have always enjoyed growing organic vegetable, fruits and herbs. That is why I chose the major I did, but not sure how this can be translatable into a career.

Donna asks‌

Where do I find fresh ground cloves? My fiance and I want to use cloves to cleanse our bodies of parasites. We need to find it fresh, so we can grind it ourselves. Where would we find it though? In an organic vegetable and fruit store? Health food store? Does anyone have any ideas?

timreeves1043 answers: If you want to grind it yourselves, the you want to buy whole cloves, not ground cloves. Any spice section will have whole cloves. Whole Foods will have organic ones. Cloves, by definition, are the dried flower buds of a tree in the family Myrtaceae. So you will only find them dried. Buy a fresh bottle of dried cloves. Be very careful using cloves. They are toxic in high doses. Get reputable instructions for what is considered safe for your herbal treatment. You can also buy pure clove tincture/oil at whole foods. Again, research how to use it safely.

Do you think that an Organic food Business is reliable? Imagine a store that only sells organic products, meat, vegetables, fruits, every thing that a normal supermarket has, but with organic and good for the environment, do you think that a store like that can be profitable, and maybe able to expand?

timreeves1043 answers: I think it depends on where you are located – cost of the items with shipping and are people in the area interested. I have seen these stores become successful but also have seen the costs to be too much so it really depends just like any other business. Personally I wish i had more of these stores in my area

Carol asks…

How do people prefer to eat their raw organic fruits and vegetables, juicing, or in a blender? I drink an organic raw shake that consist of different vegetables and fruits daily, acai, cacao, apples, bananas, kiwi, spinach, celery, raw honey, kelp, etc… I take it every morning to absorb alll the nutrients on an empty stomach, and the effects are amazing, but I would like to know how people prefer to eat their fruits and vegetables, that’s if they eat any:(

timreeves1043 answers: Organic fruits or vegetable means no chemical are used on the plants. Nowadays most the the fruits and vegetable are grown with chemical and insecticides. Even the worms and pests do not eat these. So think of the consequence we eat these everyday. Of course it is hard to grow them and it is often very difficult to get rid to insects, pest and worm. This is why organic type of food are very expensive compare to normal food. It also taste different and look different.

Are any Presidential candidates or governors against organic farming/small farms? Strange question I know, but I’m making up a fake company that’s all about growing organic vegetables and fruits (this is for a college assignment). I was wondering if anyone knew any political figure that is against this sort of thing? I’ve tried searching but it is very difficult to find information on such a small, unimportant issue (compared with the wars, abortion, etc). Any information at all would be very helpful!

timreeves1043 answers: Obama Senate Bill S510 Makes it illegal to Grow. Share. Trade or Sell Homegrown Food from 2009 http://educate-yourself.org/cn/HR875andS425organicfarmingban13mar09.shtml http://www.naturalnews.com/031922_Monsanto_lawsuit.html

Lots of info out there but I had to try and find you some links. PERSONAL STORY: We have a 1 acre garden. We use to raise and sell food at a local farmers market. We do not any more. The local laws have become so oppressive that it is not worth the effort for what we produce. Many of the other family gardeners have also given up. Be sure to check out http://farmwars.info/?p=8052 Obama’s new executive order that would take control of all infrastructure to include small farms. Good luck on your project.
