What to buy organic other than produce

[Anonymous]

Which non-produce foods would you prioritize buying organic if saving money were also important?

Asking about dairy, canned beans, grains, cereal, flour, oil, etc.

I googled a bit but didn't find anything great.

Definitely dairy and any soy product if you buy that.

If I could afford it, I would buy organic milk and organic antiriotic free chicken. My kid eats so much of both of those items that it worries me.

I try to buy organic dairy and organic and humanely sourced eggs for many reasons, and organic corn and soy products (tortilla chips, tofu) to avoid GMOs.

If we ate meat, I'd buy organic meat.

Whatever you consume the most of. In our house, we go through three gallons of milk a week, so its important for the little ones to get organic milk. We eat red meat maybe twice a month, so that becomes less of an issue, IMO.

We always buy organic eggs and chicken. The cost difference is negligible and they taste a lot better.

Eggs and dairy.

eggs and dairy. if there's a very small price difference, I buy organic. Meat/fish when we need it.

Is there such a thing as "organic" pork? I can find grassfed beef w/o hormones, antibiotics, etc, and same with Chicken, but not pork. Whats the deal?

I don't think you see "organic" certified pork but absolutely YES, there is pasture/forage raised pork available. Standard commercial pork operations are some of the WORST farms out there. Around here, you can source good pork from Polyface Farms, Coulter Farms, Lamb's Quarter, or Babes in the Woods.

With meat and dairy, it's not just about the certified organic stamp. Grass-fed or pasture-raised and humanely-farmed is as much or more important (IMO) than being certified organic. The nutrition and taste profile of the products is significantly better, as well as being more sustainable.
