[VIDEO] The Gap | So THIS Is Why We Should Be Eating Organic!

By Rachel Avery // Place Newmarket

We all get told we’re supposed to eat organic food, but most people don’t understand exactly what “organic” means.

There’s a place in Brisbane’s western suburbs where you can find out everything about organic food and even pick up a few organic goodies while you’re there.

Colin Peile and his wife Michelle have run The Gap Local Co-Op for the last four years.

It started out of the storage space under their house and now resides in a shop nestled next to a community garden.

They sell certified organic products, where farmers undergo stringent testing of their soil to ensure there are no chemicals or pesticides in their produce.
