Default Re: The Price Difference

THere is a farmers market down te road from me every sunday morning and we try to shop there. I try to buy locally more than organically most of the time. Organic bananas are still organically grown a zillion miles away and have to be transported over.. whereas coxs orange pippin apples are grown right here in my own neighbourhood! Sometimes you have to weigh the 'organic' against the carbon footprint... I think i am helping the environment more by not buying something that has had to be shipped across the world...
