Be frugal

Rethink your food budget.

If you want to purchase more expensive organic foods, you may need to increase your food budget.

Buy preserved foods.

In the off season, avoid expensive imported stale produce. Choose less expensive preserved foods.

Join a co-op.

Food co-ops provide food to members at a discount, and many of the products are organic.

Getting started

Start at the top.

Purchase organic foods at the top of the food chain - dairy, egg and meats.

Buy organic baby food.

Prepared baby foods concentrate the pesticide residues in fruit and vegetables. Go organic for your baby.

Fiber

Eat healthy fats.

Fish, nuts, and foods prepared with vegetable oils.
