Yes you can buy organic meat but I'm finding biodynamic meat is easier to get hold off. Organic chicken is the easiest to get hold off. We can get that off the supermarket sometimes.
Slow transition is probably the key. We still have stuff that isn't organic in the house but in general it is.
Veg- we started by getting a box from one of the organic online store delivered. Because there's not a lot of mass produced stuff u tend to get what's in season which is great. We end up with some interesting meals sometimes just coz I want to use up some stuff. I also find by swapping to organic veg & fruits, I don't end up spending as much because I'm more conscious of how much I buy. Eg a bunch of celery might cost $6 organic or $3 for 1/2 of it. Previously I would not hesitate to buy a bunch of conventional celery because it's $2 or $3. But with swapping to organic stuff I would buy the 1/2 bunch and not end up wasting food. (which is my bad really)
Most organic veg taste better, mainly because they are in season. I have found some that are just 'meh'. Carrots & tomatoes were the first that convinced me. Sometime ago I read an article that list which pesticides are absorb most in which fruit & veg (can't find the article now). In general the more 'watery' veg & fruits tend to absorb most of the pesticides so I started the swaps from there.
Farmers market is another place I find organic veg. Not all the stalls would be organic though.
Organic doesn't necessarily mean theyre the freshest either. I have had some rotten stuff but I've learnt to shop at where's there's decent turnover.
Meat- took a bit longer to swap more because of what's available and cost. Meat does tend to cost more. And I can't find other alternatives at the moment except to limit our meat intake.
I don't think we've changed what meals we eat. If anything we're getting more variety and creative because we're eating more seasonally.
Feel free to PM me if u want more details etc.
