Five ways to save money on
organic food
Grow your own
The cheapest method has got to be
to grow your own. The great thing is that it doesn’t require
you to have much garden space, or even a garden at
all!
We grow tomatoes, and strawberries
in containers and the extra benefit is that you get total
control over the growing conditions.
The best combination is to have
organic soil together with organically produced seeds or
plants, that way you ensure you get the full flavour and
benefit.
Containers can be placed anywhere
that receives a reasonable amount of daylight, which means that
you can use them on balconies or other hard
surfaces.
Look for your local
suppliers
One of the most satisfying things
to do is to buy organic food locally. That way you get the
freshest ingredients for your kitchen and also get to support
local businesses. With no
transportation costs for the supplier too you should get very
competitive prices.
Don’t forget that these same
businesses will be employing local staff so you are also
helping the local economy, everybody wins in this
scenario.
Local markets
We visit a big monthly market held
on a disused airstrip. Organic food is just one of the variety
of items sold there but the prices are very, very good indeed.
Of course they are all
local suppliers and with several of them in one place we
benefit from healthy competition and get to sample a lot of
fruit!
Local box
schemes
If you are unable to get out of
your house or are too busy working to select your groceries by
hand then why not subscribe to an organic box
scheme?
You will receive, delivered to
your door, a weekly selection of fruit and vegetables in
season.
Farm shops
Finally, investigate whether any
farms near you are operating an organic farm shop. Our local
one is operated on an open farm so that you can go and see
where the animals are being kept and take a look at the crops
being grown.
They actually have a well-designed
walking route around the farm which makes a nice day out for
the kids too.
If you investigate the options
above you should be able to make considerable savings whilst
you and your family sample the delights and advantages of
organic food.
