Cheap Organic Food - Healthy Eating For Little Outlay
Organic food has grown in popularity over the years but just at the moment you probably feel it is too expensive to buy.
So, by what means can you get organic food on a budget?
The first idea is simple, grow your own at home.
Organic plants can be easily grown from seed using prepared compost and a little knowledge of how to keep pests under control without using chemicals.
Avoidance of chemicals is of course the main guiding principal for the organic way.
Fortunately you will find commercial products at many garden centres now to help if you do not have organic facilities already in your garden.
For natural control of pests you will also find options at your garden centre for benign bugs which you can introduce into your garden to prey on the bugs that cause damage to your new plants.
Containers are so useful for introducing acid loving plants for instance to your garden, now they can also be used to separate out your organic fruits and vegetables, to give them special attention.
Thus you achieve a controlled local environment, easily managed.
In fact if you have limited space or even just a windowsill this is an ideal way to grow organic food, it is great fun and very tasty too.
Budget Shopping For Organic Food
Look around your local area for a farm selling organic produce direct to the public.
More and more farmers are producing organic crops, hopefully you can find one nearby.
Buying from local farmers is beneficial to both of you, farmers get to earn more profit than supermarkets will pay them and you get to sample some very fresh local produce.
A great thing to do in the summer months is to visit farms that let you pick your own fruit, usually you get to eat a lot whilst picking so trying out the goods in advance, organic of course!
The fruit you pick is weighed and you always get a good deal on the price, very tasty.
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.
You might be able to buy some organic free range eggs as well, useful for the kitchen.
I hope that you can find some ways in this article to keep it organic and not give up on your healthy lifestyle. - 17273
