چکیده
Data concerning the price, cosmetic quality, and consumption of organic and conventional produce items were collected at two retail outlets in Tucson, Arizona. Data were gathered on Monday and Tuesday afternoons during a twelve week period between February 7 and April 26, 1994. The two retail stores were chosen as sites for data collection and consumer surveying because they stocked both organic and conventional produce on a regular basis. One of the stores used for data collection was a regional chain specialty grocery store, and the other was a local cooperative.
