BuckeyeGirl on Advantages of buying local

That's a very good point too judydee!  I get most of my meat at a small butcher shop in the next county.  They buy their beef from 5 different local farms, who while may not be completely organic, at least use only the best practices possible.  Their meat is still inspected, and honestly, even if it weren't, I know that they'd be very careful and extra safe, because they wouldn't want to harm their customers, or their own families since everyone who works there is also a customer!

They do get their chicken from a company just south of here which has tested by several of those groups that evaluates such things as having the least possible residue of any kinds of chemicals or metals in the meat. 

I also buy milk from Hartzler's Dairy, which slow vat pasteurizes their milk which leaves the enzymes still active, unlike anything which is "ultra-pasteurized" which leaves it basically sterile and useless to humans.

None of these companies are actually organic.  Some of them probably 'could' be, but jumping through the hoops to get the official certification is very costly and difficult.  It's better to KNOW who you're buying from, then buy the big-ag products which can afford to buy that certification, but who you don't know from Jack.
