    Organic means grown without lab made pesticides and fertilizers.

    This is not generally true. Organic farmer can use what most would consider synthetic pesticides. These are not technically synthetic because they are derived in a lab from organic material like petroleum.

    If the farm is NOP certified then that's what it means and products will be labeled "USDA Organic."

    However the FDA doesn't regulate the word "organic" so anyone can just slap the word on a product and call it a day.
