Anyone buying Organic?

[bridge]

I have really been trying to buy Organic foods and items recently.
Does anyone else try to do this??

I know they are usually more$$, but I feel the quality is much healthier and better.

I do use a food co-op for most of my purchases. I need to plan better for the month. The co-op only orders on the 1st Tues of the month and it delivers the 2nd Tues.

I read the menu thread and saved it, I am putting that to use next month!!!

I have found in the short time I have been trying to do this I do not buy as much packaged/processed stuff which saves $$$$

We are trying to start to do more. But I have a ton of frozen stuff to get through first. And we do a lot of farmer's stands and we'll ask about organic. You would be surprised at the number of littlier farmers who offer some organic.

Here's an old thread (in the event people don't answer the question again).

Oh how I WISH I could find a food coop in my area but no luck yet. I only buy organic now and then but hope to get better at it!

I buy organic food as much as possible.

I would like to, but I can't afford it. I check the sales at the health food stores when I go to the city, and I get whatever is on sale, which is generally fruit.

I buy organic as often as "financially convenient". I buy most of my meat from a drug-free Mennonite-run butcher shop nearby. Here in Ontario, one of the major grocery chains (Zehr's) has an extensive organic line, and I keep an eye on their ads for bargains. The prices can be reasonable. I hope the prices continue to become more reasonable as demand increases and more food producers start paying attention.
