Yeah, I'm pretty sure Arizona lettuce is far from 'organic', but on one positive note, I did see weeding crews going through the fields - so at least they don't use chemicals for everything!

It would sure be great to be able to purchase locally grown lettuce. I wonder how full of chemicals that stuff is that was grown in Arizona. Great blog you have here.
