    How easy are these to find organically?

    I'm half afraid to go near a butchers to ask again, after the patronising response I got the last time I asked. Lets just say I was told none of their meat was organic, that I'd be wasting my money if I did buy it, and with a border-line sneer attached to it.

    If anybody else might know this, I'd appreciate the info!

    Generally the supermarkets have organic turkeys in stock but they can be a little pricey.

    Thanks for replying. I'm not too bothered by the cost to be honest. My nearest Dunnes has little by the way of organic food in general. There is a larger tesco nearby that will only offer organic minced beef. Chicken can be found free range only, and as for other meats there is no attempt to promise either.

    I wish I could find a contact that I could purchase my meats from on a regular basis that are organically fed. I've been to a farmers market recently and got some chicken and mince from them, but its a good drive away.

    I know eating organic is more expensive, but I push for it as much as I can. I grow my own but it needs supplementing with shop bought organic food because I don't have the space to feed us all successionally.

    As an aside, I bought some Maris Peer seed potatoes which I will be pulling out of the ground for Christmas :)

    I know in my local Tesco they generally have organic turkeys at Christmas, haven't seen that many in dunnes tough. You could also try Superquinn.

    Consider ethical or outdoor-reared from a recommended supplier as well as organic. To get the organic seal is beyond the patience and means of some farmers who treat their animals very well. OldFarm.ie do free range ham and pork. Various people do turkey but I don't know where you're based.
