Organic

So I've been thinking about going all organic, food wise. Since I can't really start growing a garden and killing my own animals for meat in the backyard in the city I need other resources. Luckily Memphis has a Farmers Market ... http://www.memphisfarmersmarket.org/home. Every Saturday they open from 7am to 1pm, there are games, music, and even pet sitters for those who want to bring their dogs! Of course there is also home grown produce and grain fed meat and even local artist exhibitions. The website has lots of other useful information too!
I most likely wont go all organic at once, because well it is expensive and may take me some adjusting to financially and taste wise. But I'm surely going to try to go that first weekend I'm there to check it all out and maybe test a few things out. I would also like to compare the prices to that of kroger. Who knows, maybe I can find a way to make it cheaper or at least get some tips for eating better at cheaper rates while I'm there.
