Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.A series of online video tutorials instruct consumers on the ways in which they can grow and harvest produce from their own (sizable) backyard. However for urbanites, organic produce is also available from a variety of other sources.
eHow.com, a service-oriented portal run by Demand Media, launched on August 5 its new organic-themed cooking series entitled Grow, Cook, Eat.
Hosted by Willi Galloway, an advocate of organic food, blogger and eHow contributor, the new service will run a series of videos demonstrating to consumers the ways in which they can create meals from the organic produce grown in their own garden. The first in the series of videos demonstrates the cultivation and cooking of ingredients needed to make "Creamy Eggs and Thyme".

Though the video tutorial series is clearly aimed at those living in the country - the first video demonstrates collecting eggs from chickens living in the backyard and a sizable vegetable plot - it does encompass the current trend for organic eating.
According to a March report from European statistic monitor Eurostat, from 2008 to 2009 the total area for organic farming within the EU increased by 7.4 percent, and the number of producers using organic farming methods rose by 9.5 percent.
Though not everyone can grow their own, organic produce is available to buy at a number of international supermarkets including Whole Foods, Wal-Mart and Tesco.
