In the natural food stores in Netherlands you will find a wide range of organic food products available - from fruits and vegetables, fish, meat and dairy, fair trade coffee and teas, breads, pastas and grains, gluten-free products, sweet items, drinks (including organic wines and beers) - in fact anything you need for a complete meal! They also sell household and personal care products as well.
If you wish to have a regular organic (fruit and veg) package there is a national scheme run by an organisation called Odin.
You have the choice of the following weekly packages: vegetable small pack (€8.75), veg large pack (€11.75), fruit small pack (€8.75), small "1 person" combi fruit + veg (€8.75), large "family" combi fruit + veg (€15.75).
The fruit and veg is sourced both locally and (for more variety) from the Mediterranean - mainly Italy and Spain - which is transported by road and not by air.

The package can be ordered from any participating health food shop. You pick up the package weekly on a specific day and you always have to pay a week in advance. It is possible to skip week(s) if you are away on holiday.
If you live in Netherlands then this scheme should be considered - you will be supporting local producers and smaller local shops - as well as eating healthy, quality organic produce. Pop into your local health store to order an Odin package - check Odin's website here - click "afhaalpunt" to find participating stores.
