Many small producers started organic before the big ag companies got into it. I have never bought big ag organic. I can get organic local feed in mash or PA organic or a great organic feed from VT. Most are 50% more. The local mash is less. It's up to you what you feed & you have to know your source. It's up to you what you feed. I have fed conventional, Non GMO & organic. I am not trying to get "organic" eggs, it's just a preference. If you don't want to feed organic, don't, but quit with all the crap about organic.
