Ex farm employee here, or rather occasional farm hand.... In canuckistan organic is a certification that your farm has been inspected and does not contain certain products (pesticides, herbicides etc, feed for livestock) on site... Whether you use them or not.... as long as they are not on site.

It's a piece of paper saying someone inspected your property. Thats about all it's worth. I'd say most small hobby farms, farmers market are more organic then certified organic commercial farm jobs.

So some farms are "organic", and usually the food is in worse shape and less nutritious then a farm that is not organic since pests and diseases usually yield lower quality product.

It's the same as fresh vs frozen... Frozen veggies are usually frozen right at the farm. And are way more nutritious then fresh which is picked before it's ripe and shipped on trucks and boats all over the world. It looses tons of nutritious value as it "ages"

Defrost frozen meat in ice water for the best taste. Cook frozen vegetables without defrosting.

It's true about the nutritional content.
