Organic Food Delivery in Turkey?

I heard there is a website where you can order organic foods and have them delivered to your house. According to a study by the Turkish Department of Agriculture, the level of pesticides and other harmful chemicals are used at an alarmingly high rate in Turkey. Also, there are basically no controls to stop the Turkish farmers from using them.

Of course, it is logical small farmers will use as many pesticides as possible when there are no controls. Pesticides are cheap, and protect your harvest from being devoured by insects... meaning more of the harvest can be sold, resulting in higher profits.



I just don't want to eat this stuff if possible.



Anyone have a solution? The organic food delivery seems pretty good... if it really exists.Organic Food Delivery in Turkey?
If these foods are not producing at the Mars believe me they are not organic.



at 1945 DDT is first used at the middle of Africa . 2 years later DDT's toxic effects found at the south pole in the stomach of an polar beer. DDT is not using now but we have still 6.000 kind of pesticides .

Migros delivers goods to households (that's the way we have been shopping for years) and you can find organic products there. The web sites point to the same:

You are right, uncontrolled pesticides do freak us out. The solution we have found is to shop from places we know.



You can try the shops themselves:

hello matt,



turkey has more than 7000 farms that are specialized in organic agriculture. in cities like istanbul, bursa and antalya, there are weekly organic bazaars.



a good starting point is this site: http://www.bugday.org/eng/



it is an ngo which works for fostering organic farming in turkey.



I know that a few farms send organic food packages to homes on weekly basis. you can contact this ngo for further information.
