Organic vegetables

Hey, I want to wean my baby using organic vegetables. Is it cheaper to buy a weekly organic veg box e.g. Abel & Cole (and if so which boxes are good value?) or just to buy organic individual items from Tesco/Sainsbury's?
Obviously our baby will only be eating small amounts initially (of course we can freeze and eat it ourselves too so it won't go to waste - but we aren't too fussed about eating organic food ourselves although I know it is healthier and better for the environment - the cost has put me off in the past).
If we can find a way to buy organic food without breaking the bank, maybe now is a good time to switch for the whole family.
Thanks x

I use Abel and Cole weekly for some of my shopping but I don’t tend to get the veg boxes as I do feel they’re over priced. They have great food, I only eat bread from them, I just tend to get the veg individually.

Depending on the Tesco they don’t always have a great selection, Sainsbury’s and Waitrose I usually find to be better.

I have recently seen that on soil association they have listings of places that grow and sell organic veg and offer delivery services. It’s categorised into areas so you may find something closer to home and that you can customise.
