According to the USDA census, Massachusetts has 198 organic farms. Organic agricultural practices avoid synthetic chemicals when producing vegetables, fruits, meat, fish and dairy. Most synthetic agricultural chemicals are manufactured from fossil fuels, which emit greenhouse gases. Check a product’s label to see if it is organic or naturally grown. Mass Grown contains a map of farms, markets, and agricultural activities that feature Massachusetts-grown food.
