We try to buy organic whenever possible--though sometimes it's just way too expensive buying at the supermarket or Whole Foods. We considered an organic CSA but then you're only getting produce for a few short months. So about a month ago, we rejoined Purple Dragon Co-Op, an organic fruits and vegetables co-op. The way it works is that you find a group in your area (in NJ or NY currently) to join and the produce is delivered there twice a month. So we pick up our 20-30 lbs of produce every other Thursday at a location about 10 minutes from our home. We love it--you never know what you're going to get until that week. We often get unusual fruits or veggies which really gives us a chance to get creative in the kitchen! The produce is local as much as possible and always really fresh. This article was just published in a local paper about Purple Dragon in case you're interested and would like to learn more.
