Organic Sand
I am going to start a new family business, an organic sand farm. Our sand will be grown using only the best organic procedures, free from hormones, pesticides and genetic manipulation. My inspiration comes from a recent shopping trip to Whole Foods, where I was delighted to find bags labeled "Organic Play Sand" for sell. I was disappointed however to discover that the bags did not feature a USDA Organic seal to verify their claim.

So, how exactly does one go about "growing" sand? I didn't realize that was possible!
Well, I was planning to walk down to the beach, fill a pail with sand, bring it home and plant the grains in my garden.
Actually, on closer inspection of the bags from Whole Foods (yes, I did buy two of them--our sand box was getting low and these were actually on sale and a pretty good deal), the label says "Sierra Organics Play Sand" and affirms that it is pure and natural. So I guess technically they aren't making the claim that the sand is organic. Frankly, it looks an awful lot like the stuff out on the playground...or down on the beach!
Hahaha...that's awesome. Whole Foods has its perks, but sometimes you gotta wonder...
