It may be that "natural" farming methods, without fertilizer and
pesticides, using animal wastes, mulching and worms as a "fertilzer
base, (which may or may not meet US legal definitions of "organic"),
may not be much more expensive toproduce, particularly factoringin the
higher quality of the crop. 

My point about high pricing in the MGH (M greenhouse)  plan was not
based on production cost drivers, but that their revenue projections
appear to be based on quite high prices (higher than current health
food store "organics --which in my experience can be sometimes 2-3x
conventiontional) -- and an assumption that the market will pay such.

The MGH high price assumption is based on admittedly sparse data
points: TMO pricing of "organic" honey, of MAV products, yagyas and TM
itself, antecdotal evidence that the FF GH crop prices were higher
than normal "organics", the propensity of the TMO to price at
extraordinary levels -- independent of any demand analysis, etc.
