The online catalogue I use to order is out of more items than ever before - products from organic distributors located from coast to coast.
Our orders are delivered by truck to our small isolated village and have been for years; but for the past few months, dozens of items are listed as 'out' with a date for next delivery which many times is pushed up to a later date.
Since it takes years to prepare a farm's soil to qualify as certified organic, it's a slow process to increase their numbers.
Weather factors, too, recently created problems when a large southwestern Wisconsin organic farm suffered destructive flooding.
To meet the demand, little by little all over the world, more farms go organic, despite problems.
