Organic food in supermarkets

Beckyy

Amazon stopped subscribe and save on whole earth organic lemonade, so I've just ordered 24 bottles of Belvoir organic handmade lemonade £27. Feels like a small fortune to spend on lemonade so I hope it's nice! Will report back

Bhutan To Be First Country to Go 100% Organic

Anyone know of any good places to get organic kale from?

Beckyy

I've never seen organic kale, actually.

I've had it in veg boxes from Ocado..

Nosing on estate agency websites today, I read that Savills has done research which proves that if you live near a Waitrose you pay 25% more for your house. It seems to me then, that to get a 25% discount, you just make sure they deliver

Must admit I called Ocado, Abel & Cole and said do you deliver to X and luckily they said yes. I've since seen a cottage with an Aga in the middle of the countryside but only 3 mins walk from a station and one stop from an HS1 interchange station so OH could go from bed to London in about 45 mins I think I need to make a list of towns and villages with stations and email it to A&C, Ocado and Riverford to find out which they deliver to

Can't do without my organic food now. OH made some fantastic wild garlic, watercress and wild rocket soup this weekend :T

Edwardia, ooh, a cottage with an Aga - sounds lovely. Can we have it if you don't? Might be rather along commute though :rotfl:

Agas sound lovely and great for heating, but actually not very practical. You can't turn the heat up to finish a dish and you can't make toast without buying a gadget. But the coal/log burning ones are fantastic for heating.

We lived in a cottage with an Aga for awhile. It dominated the tiny kitchen and in the summer the kitchen would get so hot that my mother would cook in her bra with the top bit of the stable door open !

How's this for Ocado service.. I was having probs viewing the Ocado website and it went all teeny tiny. Just Ocado, every other website was fine. So I called customer services and asked for ideas. Ocado called me back today with a suggestion (which worked).

Thank you Ocado :T

Ocado had some, so it was probably from Waitrose. Tesco had some and I can't remember if Sains did, but they had some very nice Savoy cabbage.

But both of those are no longer in stock - out of season until next year I'd imagine. Organic veggies seem to have shorter seasons of availability in the supermarkets (supply & demand, plus growing in season?).

Sounds just what I want! The cottage, countryside and station bit anyway! Normally it's safe to say, mostly they seem nicer towns if there's a Waitrose in it (Croydon may be the exception but that normally gets more office worker types in). A&C delivery and a Waitrose within easy distance for the odd item would suit me.

I did go in Waitrose this morning, the Grove OJ is still on offer for a couple more weeks. Not organic but as mentioned on other threads there's a free Twinings voucher in the weekend mag.

Am tempted by the Riverford medium box this week - apart from the herbs and bunched carrots it has wild garlic in and think this is the last week that Riverford are delivering it. May do a small A&C order though as I need some pulses plus think I prefer the fruit from them too.

I'll have to get more wild garlic from Riverford, thanks Kirri.
