Hello,

Hate for my first post to the list to be disagreeing with a long-term member
who obviously knows his bees, but I have to chime in as this is something
I'm passionate about.

Organic can be sustainable!

Now that I've said that, I'll agree with Allen... sort of... it's not that
organic isn't sustainable The organic market is not sustainable.

I'm going organic... as organic as I can get (I have no intention of being
certified, but that's another story/rant)... but I'm doing it for myself and
my family and if there's a little left over when we're done, we'll sell it
at a farmer's market somewhere or store it for dry times.

This is sustainable.

If I were to choose to go commercial with my product, I could not keep up or
compete without charging the outrageous prices or looking to non-organic
means to boost production and extraction.

That is no sustainable.

Did any of that make sense?
