Buy Local - Buy Organic
Buying organic food locally is the responsible green thing to do. Not only is the food fresh but buying locally saves the cost of transportation and fossil fuels. And we all know the health benefits of eating organic foods or using organic products. I have put together some easy to access help in where to find and buy organic.
Organic Food
Options other than grocery stores.
Now is the time to plan an organic garden. There is a lot of good information on the web. But if you just don't have the space or the time, then consider going to local farmers markets. Or join a local co-op. With co-ops you save because everything is bought in large quantities and then distributed among the members. Or many farms now offer produce subscriptions. Buyers receive a weekly or monthly assortment of a variety of farm products. Below is an excellent link for co-ops and farm subscriptions in your area.
