I'm just curious. We are crunchier than your avg family, and try to go organic as much as possible. The problem is that other than a few very small health food stores and the luck of the draw on what the regular grocery store has for organics, we have a particularly difficult time finding organic meat and fresh produce. I would have to drive almost 1.5 hrs each way to go to either a whole foods or some other bigger organic food store. I can try to join a local buyers co-op to get organic dried/frozen goods that meets once a month. However, for meats and fresh produce either you can buy rotten produce (yes, the organic, "section" at our meijer is basically a bunch of rotten produce), or you have a very small selection with no variety at all.
How far would you drive to shop for organic foods?
PS- CSA is not an option here, we participated in one two yrs ago and it was a bad experience, and unfortunately it is the only CSA within a 2 hr radius from us.
