So Tuesdays are my shopping day and today was my first real organic  shopping day.  First I went to the local butcher who does organic meat  (5 min drive from my home).  He is friendly, full of information and not  too expensive.  One down, going well.  The second stop was a 15 min  drive from my home.  I went to a farm who has set up a shed to sell  from.  I must admit I was kind of expecting a rustic, quaint, charming  little farm with a delightful farm house and a cute little shop.  Well, I  was wrong.  It is a little on the messy side, the home is just an old  sort of home and the cute little shop was actually a tin shed.  BUT, the  lady was lovely and helpful and the food was wonderful.  The selection  was huge, including cheeses, all kinds of grains, jams and other shelf  items.  Grace loved chatting to the dogs and chooks and I loved knowing I  was actually buying organic.  I didn't even really consider that there  may not be eftpos so the lady sent me home without paying until next  time I came. Go the good ole days.  My third stop was Aldi and to my  delight they have added quite a few new products to their organic  range.  YAY.  My forth stop was Woolies where I got some herbs and  almond meal, the couple of things I wasn't able to get anywhere else.
I  loved the experience but have found I can pre order my meat and farm  foods so my shopping days will be a little less hecktic with my three  and one year olds.
