Organic veg and fruit
« on: August 19, 2011, 17:05:29 PM »
Where can I buy organic vegetables and fruit. Is there an organic farm where I could buy a least some veg and fruit. It's almost impossible to find organic products in the Tuesday market and what you can find (if any) in the supermarkets is really very limited. Thanks for your help.

I thought nearly all the fruit and veg in the market was organic - shows what I know :D

However, not to upset anyone. But the findings are they are not stuffed with as many good things as we thought.

Dont forget, using washing up liquid when you wash your plates, reduce your life by around 3 days.

Kraken you may want to try the Friday village Market. Many of the locals from the surrounding villages bring their garden fruit and veg to sell. It's not all organic but much of it will be as close as you can get.

The Friday Market is a much pleasanter experience than the Tuesday one and feels a bit more traditional.

It's my favourite Market and cheaper too  :)

Des it depends where you have the washing machine - if it's in the same area as you prepare food I would think it would significantly reduce your life span days or weeks even  - but yes - washing up liquid is evil and dangerous - in our house if I don't make sure it's all rinsed off before it goes in the rack it gets rewashed and if things are left to drain they get re rinsed just in case there is a trace of washing up liquid on it :-)

Considering all the bugs, insects and flying creatures (such as locusts and crickets) it would be impossible to grow things organically in Turkey :)  If I didn't spray every 3/4 weeks they certainly beat me to the garden produce
