Absolutely! A challenge, but not an impossibility. And it should be easier

for a direct-to-home distribution network than for a supermarket that, of

necessity, has to store and forward stuff and then store it again before it

can sell it to the consumer.


Problem is, organic growers and distributors are inclined to use the

downside of organic growing as an excuse for shoving substandard produce

onto the naive consumer - and most buyers of organic stuff are naive enough

to see limp carrots covered in grime as a value-add in itself.


Personally, I look forward to the day when we can produce genetically

modified customers, but that's another story.
