Consumers are buying into organic farms

It's a small trend in Illinois that reflects the growing interest in organic food consumption. But the recession also has helped nurture this idea for people of means who want to invest their money in places other than the volatile, and now languishing, stock market or in certificates of deposit or savings accounts that pay 1 percent interest or less.

"It's a safe investment," said Dr. Stephen Rivard, who in 2006 diversified his portfolio by investing $75,000 in an organic farm. Since then, he has plunked down an additional $200,000 in two other farms. :think:

Community Supported Agriculture is also a great way to support organic farms.
