Here are a few tips on how to go organic without busting your budget:

• Shop the farmers market for locally grown meats and produce.

• Don’t buy everything organic. Focus on the Dirty Dozen produce that tends to have the most pesticides: apples, strawberries, grapes, celery, peaches, spinach, sweet bell peppers, nectarines (imported), cucumbers, cherry tomatoes, snap peas (imported) and potatoes.

• With good soil, seeds and some tender love and care, you can grow your own produce.

• Buy only what’s in season.
