That's the question I've been asking myself for weeks now. I've been hoping that I'm on the right track as to sourcing my organics by buying from the farmers market as much as possible so I have an opportunity to ask farmers "where does the seed come from"?. You'll find most farmers very happy to share with you, and engage in proud conversation about the state of their seed and the many heirloom varietals they've come across over the years! It's exciting to know, and better yet, exciting to eat!
I stumbled across a few links to help you source your foods before and while at your local grocer (when you can't get to the farmers market), so you can have a bit more confidence in your choices...and, well, choices within your choices! *insert laugh* Use them wisely, and eat well folks; you have a right to know what you're eating! Vote Yes on Prop37 and make them label GMO foods in our stores!
Avoid Genetically Modified Foods and know your stuff when you shop at your local grocery store!

Well Done! I love that you are talking directly to the Farmers. I think eventually, as more people are educated on this issue, we will win our point-nation wide. "We want just real Food on our plates please." We have the right to labels, to make informed choices for ourselves.
