That is such a good point. I agree, we sho...Hi Jen,<br />That is such a good point. I agree, we should definitely be buying more Australian organic ... that way the shops and farmers might get the idea. Also, maybe we should be commenting to the organic food shops that they might highlight Aussie stuff on their shelves, to make it easier for us. <br /><br />But as far as trusting that organic is organic ... from Europe you can definitely trust it. Europe has great organic standards and is becoming more and more organic (compared to the US or Australia). So I've got no qualms about buying European organic stuff if there isn't an Australian equivalent. I think in general international organic standards are good and legit.<br /><br />Saying that, I tend not to buy organic products from China, because they don't have the best track record with food safety ...<br /><br />Maybe this is another reason to take on the make-your-own, live seasonally philosophy? Can we afford the time to buy extra organic apricots in season and make jam for the rest of the year? Or make extra tomato sauce when tomatoes are abundant and freeze it? Personally, I think it's worth the time ... but do you think that's a rare philosophy these days? <br /><br />AmandaAmanda@easypeasyorganic.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5555026666921417340.post-39382447777699748432010-07-20T00:24:02.705-04:002010-07-20T00:24:02.705-04:00hi amanda,
