Organics?
If you can afford it, that's a great option!
CSAs are cheaper than buying from middle men, in my experience. and they're usually organic.
What are csa's?
Community Supported Agriculture
https://wikipedia.org/wiki/Community-supported_agriculture
Basically an org (usually nonprofit) serves as a buying club direct from a bunch of farmers, and they split the harvest amongst their members. Its a great way to get organics for cheap, and to support your local farmer.
This is exactly the sort of thing I'm looking for, thank you!
Bonus: some CSAs offer free food to organizers who help run the CSA (eg unload the truck and split-up the produce into boxes for each member, and organize pickups from the members).
So its a great way for people with more time than money to feed themselves healthy food for free
