What is the image that props into your mind when two girls go shopping - shoes, bags, clothes, maybe jewellery? Ms. Positive and I went shopping for our weekly groceries in the Biomarket. For a few years now, I have been trying to buy as many bio products as possible. There is a lot of argument for and against bio produce. Some of my friends and DH believe that it is all a hoax - what is trotted as organic is probably not organic at all and just a way to fleece customers off more money. Till now, I have chosen to believe the EU organic certification logo that is present on the organic produce and hopefully it does carry some value.
While we were shopping, Ms. Positive told me that she knows a local farmer who delivers her very good quality organic eggs every week at her home. So, I decided to try him out once in the spirit of supporting local and independent businesses. I am a little confused about buying local though. When you buy at a supermarket, there the EU logo is a reassurance that the product is actually authentic. Is there anyway to know if a local farmer's produce is really organic other than believing him?
I am going to give it a try anyway.
