I am an organic feeder and buyer. But I buy my organic items from local farms that I know. Some of them aren't certified, some are. The ones that aren't are using true organic standards are often better than the ones that are doing the "letter of the law".
We get out feed grains organic with the exception of the sunflower seed. We purchase 100% grass fed beef from a local farm that raises a few low-line for butcher. Purchase our milk from a farm that practices organic standards. Neither of them are certified but good practices.
For me, it's the amount of chemical input that I'm avoiding. Chemical fertilizers, chemical herbicides, chemical pesticides. For me, that has a lot to do with why I raise my own and garden my own in the first place.
