Tariffs to hit a grocery item already battered by price hikes

As an organic girly through and through, I’m no stranger to sticker shock at the grocery store. If it’s ethically sourced, sustainably farmed, or even remotely pasture-adjacent, I’ve probably paid double for it.

Then there were weeks when even the non-organic versions were costing an arm and a leg.
