August 10, 2009: Eat organic, for health and life!

     
 

Welcome to the Rodale Institute web update newsletter.

 
 

Hello: It’s mid-August, and prime-time to find the best, freshest organic fruits, vegetables, grains, pastured poultry and grass-based dairy products in your region. You can eat these products from well-tended farms with confidence that you’re getting the highest quality nutrition available.

As devastatingly low prices continue to trouble all dairy producers, your investment in the best organic producers and processors you can find may help them hang on.
