Organic crop production takes about 3 years to get your crops certified organic. Can be shorter if you have very good records proving you don't use chemicals on some acres; proving a negative is tough tho.
Raising organic critters is a little different, if you buy the organic grains a lot of your premium prices go to buying the specialty organic grains from others......
It's all kind of a pyramid scheme, rich folk can pitter around spending lots of money on food, and it's the fad to do organic food now. Maybe that trend will continue, maybe it will expand. Maybe it won't.
The big players in this, like Perdue or Whole Foods are looking to make a buck, and are working out ways to buy wholesale and sell premium retail. Thry will squeeze the market, and will attempt to be paying regular prices to the organic farmers, for getting a premium product from them.
It will all turn very large and very commercial real fast, and the premium prices will dwindle to not much.
This won't be aimed at a 20 acre farm growing 50 chickens and making a living,, it will be aimed at 20,000 bird barns built side by side churning out lots of birds just like regular farming.
But the commercial makes everyone feel good, and spend more piles of cash on these 'special' chickens and create so many winners along the way.....

Today's Featured Article - 12-Volt Conversions for 4-Cylinder Ford 2000 & 4000 Tractors - by Tommy Duvall. After two summers of having to park my old 1964 model 4000 gas 4 cyl. on a hill just in case the 6 volt system, for whatever reason, would not crank her, I decided to try the 12 volt conversion. After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
