Ways to keep the cost of organic food within your budget
Organic food can be quite costly, but there are ways in which you get it at a more affordable price. They include:
Shop at farmers’ markets: Many cities, as well as small towns, host a weekly farmers’ market, where local farmers sell their produce at an open-air street market, often at a discount to grocery stores. Take advantage of this time to get your organic food in bulk.
Join a food co-op: A natural foods co-op or cooperative grocery store typically offers lower prices to members, who pay an annual fee to belong
Join a Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) farm: This community is formed, and then allows individuals and families to join up so they can purchase “shares” of produce in bulk, directly from a local farm. Local and organic!
