My family eats primarily organic, but we are able to get it at a very reasonable rate, sometimes its cheaper than the conventional. But we also don't eat a lot if any processed foods. The only thing that isn't reasonable are eggs in our area. Which is what made us decide to start keeping chickens. I buy them Scratch and Peck Organic Non-GMO feed. I get the soy and corn free blend. Mostly because a lot of the corn in this country is GMO and it's really hard to find non-gmo corn and soy. You have to buy heritage brands to get non-gmo. I also garden heavily and follow organic guidelines for my gardens as well. It is more common at home (the Northeast) then it is in the south where we are now. All of our pets either eat high end holistic food or organic food. Our water and food are so important to our existence. I don't understand how people can be so lackadaisical with either of those things. What we put into the ground will essentially end up in our bodies. My husband and I live in the south currently and we have to spray the exterior perimeter of our house to keep our bonding but I honestly can't wait to get back to the north. In my 32 years of existence my parents haven't had to spray a single chemical on their property. We also got chickens and are getting ducks for bug prevention. I want to try to not utilize chemicals where we are since our drainage goes to the sound, that dumps into the gulf. We as a species are a part of the circle of life and if we treat mother nature well, she will return the favor. All food was organic at one point. We just need to try to get back to that.
