Take what you grow to local farmers markets and make sure to put up a sign that says organic, people will pay twice the price. I knew a guy that took regular veggies from his parents farm and did this, that why I’m cautious about buying organic from farmers markets. One acre may seem small at first, but it may be a lot more work than you anticipated.
Quoting: Fred Garvin I don't think it's legal to use the word organic unless you pay a lot of money and jump through bureaucratic hoops to get certified. USDA owns that word. It's not worth getting certified for the small operation but you can say "grown without chemicals " or something to that effect. You can use the word organic without certification if your sales of that product are less than $5,000 per year.
