Pretty good assessment. I have the potential to be earning a high hourly rate but I don't count my time gardening as a loss because I enjoy it most of the time. I also can grow different things than I can find in the store and that's hard to put a price on.

plus you know it's organic, whereas the grocery store's "organic" label sometimes has some give to it. Some wheats for example, aren't entirely organic.
The organic label really ended up pretty meaningless unfortunately. Wish I had a link handy, but Joel Salatin has a few podcast episodes where they dug into all the loopholes.

The "product of the USA" label was also meaningless, thankfully it actually just recently got an updated list of requirements that make more sense. Previously you could bring in chicken raised in another country, do a bit of the processing here, and consider it produces in the USA.
