More ways to eat organic cheaper:

-buy the organic produce in the store that is at or under $1 or $2 a lb.
-make friends with organic farmers and buy their seconds (often the best tasting produce but not good enough looking to sell at stores)
-become an organic farmer
-learn how to do sprouting in your kitchen
-grow a kitchen garden (herbs and lettuces can grow well in pots in your kitchen)
-order specials from [www.diamondorganics.com] online
-ask your grocery store to order you a box of one kind of organic in-season fruit or vegetable each week
-make friends with your local organic produce stand and get their decent end-of-day throw-aways
-find a local farmers market here: [www.ams.usda.gov]
-locate organic farms in your area here: [www.localharvest.org]
-locate an organic box program that delivers a box of organic produce every week also at localharvest.org
