The Good Food Campaign

Organic food tends to be more expensive than non-organic. That’s a fact.

So, if you need to save money, should you quit eating organic produce?

Not if at all possible.

Unfortunately, the most highly processed food, is often the cheapest, and is also most often the least nutritious too. So, although, you might be shaving a few dollars from the grocery bill, if you’re feeding your family junk food, you’re not doing them any favors, and you’re really simply wasting your money.

Cut back a little on portion sizes. Most of us eat too much in any case.

If you really cannot get or afford organic produce then buy non organic local produce at least. The fresher the better. Explore road-side stalls, and farmers markets.

Remember too, that supporting local farms helps support your own local economy. Also learn what is in season, and try to buy produce that is in season at the time of purchase. It is often cheaper, and often tastes better, as it’s more likely to be naturally grown, and not forced in a hothouse.

Some examples os seasonal foods: June is the best time for onions; July thru October for tomatoes, and October for sweet potatoes.
