We live fairly far north. Our growing season is short. It’s early September and the season is basically over. There are a few small organic operations, but very few. Most of our organic food has to be trucked in. It’s about 350 miles to the US border.
Because of these factors organic food in my community is expensive and it is hard to find. When you do find it there isn’t much variety. Organic fruits are the rarest because they don’t travel well without pesticides, which would kind of nullify the organic thing. We get a few types of apples, some bananas, and the odd orange. We get a slightly wider range of vegetables: carrots, lettuce, extremely expensive tomatoes. Packaged foods are easier: broth, canned tomatoes. We do have an organic bakery so bread is accessible.
I’m lucky because we both have good salaries and don’t have children to feed.
Organic foods taste wonderful. The flavour is fuller; the mouth feel is superior. They are worth the cost.
