Organic or not?

Chances are that "naturally grown" apple you're about to eat may look organic and taste organic, but it's probably not.

Certified Naturally Grown (CNG) produce is similar to the USDA's definition of organic. Perhaps the biggest difference between the two are their labels. Both organizations prohibit synthetic pesticides and fertilizers, for example, and require farmers to pay fees, but there are significant differences in their certification.
