I do agree that home grown food tastes better but as I said it is a matter of freshness not organicness or where it is grown.

It depends on the food product we are talking about. I can tell you that there is a huge difference in flavor between green beans from Planet Organic and just about any other grocery store in town.
I certainly don't exclusively buy organic, maybe 20% at the most. But some items I try to, like carrots as someone else mentioned, green beans, and usually the Earthbound lettuce and spinach. If I can buy non-organic fresh carrots in a small bunch, with the leaves and stems still attached, I will as those are usually tasty enough. But most bagged carrots tend to be dry, woody, and tasteless. However, I have my own carrots from my garden for about 8 months of the year (second fridge), so I don't have to buy too many carrots. I also keep my own potatoes in my cold storage, pretty well year around. About the only potatoes I buy are the baby potatoes. Hint when buying potatoes of any kind. Buy those towards the bottom of the pile. Potatoes react with light so those on the top will never be as tasty or as good a quality. In fact, if potatoes are left in the light for too long, they will turn green.
I will agree with someone else...no difference between GMO and non GMO.
