Buying organic does not mean expensive

Jun 03, 2010

Just because you buy something‘organic‘ it doesn‘t have to mean ‘expensive‘.

So often when you shop for ‘organic‘ produce there is a premium price tag attached. Often this is explained away by no chemicals = small yields, more labour intensive to produce etc...

But shop smart, and your weekly food bill should not suffer.

Follow some simple steps and you can enjoy ‘organic‘ produce all year round:

1. Enjoy the season - and benefit from abundance of crops.

2. Buy direct from the producer - and cut out all those middle men taking a cut.

3. Avoid buying excess & shop weekly - why tie up your money in produce just stored away in your fridge, when you can buy weekly to meet your weekly needs.

4. Buy fresh and buy at optimum condition - when you know the produce is just picked, not only can you taste the difference, you can see it, and there is no wastage.

At Mulgrave Farmers Market, you get the opportunity to buy ‘organic‘ produce every week.

Visit Penninsula Fresh Organics - 1st and 3rd week and Busch Organics 2nd week of the month - for all your fresh ‘organic‘ needs.

See you  Sunday!
