Prices of Organic Fruit and Vegetables in Spain
The cost of organic fruit and vegetables is generally a lot less in Spain than in the UK, especially if you buy direct from the local farms.
The prices aren't that much higher than the standand produce in the supermarket. As an example below I have included a few prices from Spring 2013 from the organic farm Antigua Vida Nueva (see ordering direct from an organic farm). Prices vary every week and by season, so the prices below are an indication of some typical prices.
Some produce is more difficult to grow organically than others and this is often reflected in the price. If you are only buying some food organic, it is possible to prioritise which foods to buy by knowing which produce is likely to be most highly contaminated with pesticides (see page on the best food to buy organic).
