I know a lot of us tend to think that eating organic food is next to impossible because of the high price tag. I also know that all organic food is not created equally, however most organic food found on the market is still a better alternative to the other food when possible. Thanks to Costco Nathan and I have been able to buy most of our grocery's of organic quality at a very reasonable price! I will show the list and price of each organic item I buy there and give you a total:). Some of the scariest food out there to buy, is meat!! If you only knew what you were eating....It is very very scary. Nathan and I buy a whole local cow every year that has been grass fed and taken care of (not living in poop up to it's eye balls all of its short life). We then divide it up between family members to make it more affordable. Yes the price tag of that item is a lot, but completely worth it. To give you an idea that cow will last our family a little over a year and our share of the cow is about 1/4.

Lance and I have been wanting to do the cow thing; how does one go about buying a cow?
when is the next time you are buying your meat in bulk? I was wondering if it is possible to have it shipped here - or if it's just something we should look into finding a place out here that would do the same thing. You get yours from Redmond though don't you? I like their farms and products so much - I trust them, so in a way...maybe I'd prefer buying & shipping from them.
