There is a guy here I occasionally buy veg from. His veg is truly organic and prices similar to the supermarket. The incredibly high cost of "organic" food has nothing to do with quality and everything to do with marketing.

As an interesting aside, I sell scrip as a school fundraiser and there has been an enormous shift from Whole Paycheck to the local food co-op over the last few years. Both give 5% to the school, I don't believe there's an awful lot of difference in the prices, but the people's food co-op is local and they source their own suppliers, mostly locally.
