Cheap Organic Food - Healthy Eating For Little Outlay
Many people want to enjoy the benefits that organic food provides however in these challenging economic times this can be very difficult.
So, by what means can you get organic food on a budget?
For starters the best way to go is to start growing your own.
You can do this in two ways, go the whole way and start off with buying organically produced seeds from specialist suppliers or start out with ordinary seeds and raise them the organic way.
The principal thing to remember is that you will not be able to use chemical pesticides or compost that includes chemical additives.
But this is not a problem, with the growing interest in all things organic special compost is available at most garden centres and of course manure is available in all country areas.
Pest control has a few organic options one of which is the use of soft soap to remove pests from your plants. This has no harmful chemicals that will affect your soil.
Growing your organic plants in containers is a good way to separate them from the rest of your garden which you may wish to keep non organic.
In this way you can achieve an easily controlled area of your garden which you can give special attention to.
So even if you live in an apartment you can join in on the organic movement with pots and larger containers providing a mini climate.
Low Cost Shoping For Organic Food
If you live near open country then ask around locally to see if any organic farmers will sell their produce directly to the public.
Organic farming is gaining popularity and as demand for fresh produce grows more and more farmers are opening farm shops to sell directly to the public.
Farmers get to keep more of the profit instead of lowering their prices to sell to the large supermarkets and you get fresh, quality organic produce on a regular basis and also get to support your local community.
One of my favourite summer pastimes is going to farms that offer pick your own fruit days. It is a great family day out and really your children could not get better quality organic food than picking and eating it directly from the plant.
You buy by weight and always get a good deal on price, if you go with a group of friends or family as well you can share out the produce and all profit from the day.
Of course whilst you are at the farm why not see if they also sell other organic produce like meat and dairy. Last year I bought some wonderful honey at half the price I would have paid at my local store.
Perhaps you can get some organic eggs at a good price in volume while you are there, share them out with your family.
I hope that you can find some ways in this article to keep it organic and not give up on your healthy lifestyle. - 17268
