Organic. Period.

Victory gardens fed the citizens during World War II, and made it possible for farm commodities to be used to feed American troops. Growing a plot of food was seen as every citizen’s patriotic duty during the war years. Front yards and balconies were filled with vegetables, and gardening became a productive pastime for many people that they carried with them throughout their lives.

This year, when you plan your garden, plan an extra row or two so you can have extra vegetables to give away. Many food banks will be happy to distribute home grown foods to needy families. If you need other sources, contact other service organizations or local churches. They may also be able to help distribute your produce to people who will appreciate it.
