My Friend Kara sent me this information about how to tell if produce is organic.
Superstition Ranch doesn't always advertise organic on the sign, you have to take a look at the stickers.
General designation is as follows:
Organic produce has a five-digit number beginning with a 9. Organic bananas, for example, would be given the designation of 94011.
Conventional produce has a four-digit number beginning with a 3 or 4. Therefore, the number on conventionally grown bananas would be 4011.
Genetically engineered produce also has a five-digit number on the label and begins with an 8. Again, the number on genetically altered bananas would be 84011.
The Superstition Ranch Market (West of Meridian on Main St.) or Pro's Ranch Market in Mesa (Southern & Stapley). Both of these produce markets offer produce at a significant savings. During the summer months the produce is not rotated as frequently so skip any marginal produce.
