and have some of the highest prices at the market and grocery stores who take local produce. They don't advertise organic produce, they rely on their religion to indicate that they are "pure and organic". Many of them don't speak English so that you have to fumble through the transaction. They also look at normal folks like they are heathens in many cases.
