Resorts and Hotels Try Growing Organically

Wal-Mart caused a stir recently when it announced it was going to push organic foods, but it is hardly alone in that marketing approach. Increasingly, hotels and resorts are featuring organic cuisine on their menus and in their guest programs.

Rancho La Puerta in Tecate, Mexico (www.rancholapuerta.com), which has a six-acre organic farm that produces vegetables, herbs and fruit used by the spa's chefs and therapists, plans to open a cooking school next spring with a focus on natural foods.
