Organic Food Basics 
 
by Christie Halmick June 03, 2005

Cost of organic food

In many cases organic produce will cost more than its conventional counterpart. This is due in part to the nature of an organic farm. Organic farms tend to be smaller than conventional farms, therefore make less produce. Organic farms are more labor-intensive and receive fewer subsidies than conventional farms. There is less demand for organic foods. If you plan to buy organic foods, you can take advantage of seasonal produce. Buying organics when they are in season will reduce your costs. In addition, some stores offer organic foods in bulk. Overall organic prices should continue to decrease as the demand for organic food increases and more organic food suppliers enter the market.Only you can decide what food makes it onto your table whether it is organic, conventional, or a combination of the two. Many factors will influence your decision, including taste, price, and availability. When choosing between organic and conventional produce consider your options, consider the methods employed to grow each type of food, do a taste test, make an informed decision, then enjoy your food.
