Organic food sales accounted for 3.5% of all food sales in the United States by the end of 2008, a $22.9 billion market.1 Moreover, the organic sector in general experienced growth of 17.1% in the last year,2 a rate consistent with those seen over the past decade.3 Over two-thirds of adult American consumers buy organic products at least occasionally, for reasons ranging from pesticide avoidance to taste to support for environmentally friendly agriculture.4
