It can seem daunting to go organic, believing that you need to make huge, sweeping changes. On looking back, I started out one small step at a time, and it was easy! I believe each small step we take makes a big difference.
My first step was buying organic eggs. This was an instant hit for me. The shells were thicker and the eggs had flavor! Once I remembered that this is the way an egg used to feel and taste like, I realized that there have been some serious changes in our food supply the last several decades. Organic eggs will cost a dollar more a dozen, sometimes a little more, but it is really worth it. You will begin to tell the difference and will not want to take in a load of pesticides, hormones, and antibiotics anymore.
So start with one product that won’t break your budget and begin the transition slowly. If you’ve already done so, recommend it to someone who hasn’t. I found it had positive affects on my health, and also my state of wellbeing.

I started by buying organic yogurt. I could not believe how much better it tasted! I raved about it to all of my friends, who also began buying it. The store could not keep it in stock, we actually had to speak to the buyer so that we would have enough on hand. This led to my buying organic bread (so much better), as well as organic fruit. Shopping at the organic section is now a part of my weekly routine. I found by experimenting slowly with foods I regularly purchased, I found brands I now buy every week, as they are now an intergral part of our diet. I also feel good about feeding my children foods that I can trust.

I started in 1994 by buying organic apple cider vinegar and a cleaning product. I am now planning on an organic veggie and herb garden this spring at my new condo!!! I have to plant above ground in a planter as my neighbors most likely are not using organic methods, but I will work on this at my condo assocaiation meetings!
