Shopping for organic foods is easier now than ever, as both large and small grocers are expanding their organic selections in response to the explosion of demand. To find wholesome, fresh, organic food that is also locally grown, check out your local farmers' market, where you can find organic growers selling produce without the supermarket premiums. For listings of local farmers' markets, check out the USDA's website or Local Harvest.

Community-supported agriculture (CSA) is another great way to get organic foods from a local source. CSAs usually require a seasonal subscription ranging from $300 to $500. But for this investment, which works out to about $10 to $15 per week, you will get a weekly supply of fresh, organic foods that often cost less than the same nonorganic foods on your grocer's shelf. Check out Local Harvest to find a CSA in your area.
