people that decry mass produced food claim. And organic potato costs 30% more than a non-organic potato. An organic, pure fruit drink costs 2-3 times what a fruit drink that is mass produced costs.

Some producers are utilizing or investigating growing techniques that allow them to remain organic certified, but produce at a price that communities that don't normally have access to those products can afford to buy.
