Organic..is it worth the price?
I hear so much about how great organic food is and how much healthier it is for you….For the extra cost do you think it is worth what you have to pay?
We are going to the Olathe Farmer’s Market and possibly the River Market in downtown KC, this morning…I will let you know what we find 
…….
We don’t see alot of organic stuff at the market, but I don’t really think they are worth it. Would the normal celery, or whatever you buy, be the same if it was washed really good??? Come to think of it… probably not because organic stuff doesn’t have the ewwy stuff that is used when growing it.
That probably doesn’t make any sense! But we don’t normally buy organic because of the price.
I’ve heard that if you can only get one thing that’s organic – buy organic eggs. The free-range eggs do taste better – the yolks are darker, sometimes almost orange.
Also, there doesn’t seem to be a uniform definition of organic, so you aren’t always sure what you’re getting. Probably not worth the extra expense at this point.
While at the RiverMarket & Olathe Farmers Market.. that was one of the things we kept looking for! We finally found one lady selling Eggs.. and she wanted 5.00 a dozen… OUCH! There has to be a place around the metro that sells them a bit cheaper.. I hope??
I also noticed that Farmers Market is mostly organic, some of the tables had a listing of chemicals they sprayed. (interesting)… The prices were pretty good compared to supermarket. (unless on sale) RIver market just seemed to carry wholesale produce at a marked down price.. not much organic until you got to the “smaller displays”
