Easy. Don't give the supermarkets your money for fruit and veges that you can buy direct. Just think - they are cheaper for one. You can see what you are getting (from the actual trees!). You can talk to the growers. You are supporting your local economy. Fruit will be fresher. It will have only travelled a minor distance. Try it!
We like fresh fruit juice in the morning so I buy fruit. Being Autumn I buy apples currently. They cost me $3.49 Kg at the supermarket. On offer they cost $1.49 Kg. At the local growers there are about 16 different varieties to choose from and the most expensive costs $1.40 Kg. But they do 'seconds'. Slightly mis-shapen, or with a mark on the skin. The supermarkets wouldn't accept these - and the cost -50c a kilo! They taste great and make fantastic juice.
Buy local!
