My Thoughts on Organic Foods

How important is it to you to be able to buy organic strawberries from Chile in January? While I totally support buying organic produce I support buying local even more. By buying organic non-seasonal produce you create lots of carbon dioxide. Sure you can buy yourself a green consciousness with carbon dioxide offset vouchers. But what is the point of being sustainable and Eco-minded? In my mind it is about being aware of your local surrounding. Well in winter - living in the northeast means - eating a lot of pumpkins and cabbage. I order my produce from Urban Organics. They assure the support of local organic farmers. In our household we now have fun finding new recipes on how to prepare pumpkins etc.
