Uhh, 5%. I only have organic food if its about the same price as non organic foods. Oh, or if I stop at a Whole Foods or something.

I always buy organic milk and eggs but I'm not consistent with everything else!

Hummm...dairy and meat are almost always organic, fruits and veggies are usually organic, and everything else is not organic. So maybe 50%?

Much of our produce and meat is bought off-base here and the food here in England tends to be VERY different in terms of that. Their regular food is mostly locally grown and sent right to their grocery stores. Everything is fresh and has labels saying where it's from. The milk and cheese and meat here is SO GOOD. Way better than anything I've had in the states.

@bluestriped bee: I'd say about 5% like you! I only buy organic if it's on sale.

About 95%. I shop exclusively at whole foods. Dh likes going to publix for cereal, soda and the occasional chicken strips..

I woudl rather buy local than organic; and from small local farms vs. large USDA organic producers - so not that much that we buy is certified organic. Getting certified is a really expensive process for farms/companies; so a lot of what we buy is organic, it's just not certified organic.

Probably 25%. We do organic milk & eggs, about half of our produce, and half of our meats.

Probably about 50% of our groceries are organic. We try to shop locally as well. Many of our farmers market vendors have been certified USDA organic which helps.

Certified organic? Probably 15%? We have a CSA for veggies that's local and organic from May through December. That pretty much covers our vegetables. It's super-reasonable; works out to about $12/week. And I always buy organic milk.
Then I try to buy local eggs when possible, and our beef is locally raised grass-fed beef. We have some local humanely raised chicken and beef in the freezer from when we tried a meat CSA.
Plus we grow our own veggies, blueberries and blackberries.
