Hi have you had any luck in finding one yet? I am interested in finding one myself. I know they sell various bits and bobs in Carrefour/Biochispas/Alcampo etc but limited range and fairly pricey.

I agree that nothing is 100% totally free from impurities in this day and age. However, it's all about damage limitation. I have read as well as seen with my own eyes of crops being sprayed with whatever, and i personally choose to buy the fruits and vegetables (when available) that have not been sprayed. Organic fruits and veg or rather those that have been grown without these toxins have a higher vibrational aura and energy content and are therefore better for you and the environment. 

The reason why it's more expensive is because it has less of a market share and yes you are paying for the classification. But then if more people bought it then more will be grown and prices will drop as it has done already. I can get organic broccoli now for 1e. A year or two ago it was 2.50e. For your friend to label those people who buy it as mugs is just an ignorant statement. 

And congratulations by the way on your age. I dare say the generations after yours will not be so lucky with all the poisons we consume.

Yes I certainly agree,congratulations. 103 and still commuting between  the U K and Spain when not tending to his allotment. Wow hope I am that active at that age. Can’t be many 103 yea olds with that energy. Guess holiday insurance would be expensive at that age though.

We have deleted some posts to keep this on topic. Starting a post saying "don't be so naive" is maybe not the friendliest way to start a conversation so encourage the poster to maybe edit that. 

If anyone has any more advice for the original poster then that is welcome

Hi, I don’t know of a market but the ALDI and Lidl shops both seem to keep a decent selection of organic veg and other organic products.
