Don't know about organic, but we always bring a small cooler of frozen meats. Always carry it onboard, after once--only once--we packed in checked luggage and of course didn't see the luggage for a couple of days.

Once upon a time we would bring our own meat but for many years now anything we want is easily found on the island and often times nicer than what we get in the supermarkets at home. Couldn’t be bothered these days, but no issues with those who do. And if I don’t bring it then I don’t feel obligated to cook it?..

A couple of months ago Monoprix had some high quality USA frozen meats/beef/steaks ($$$$), they also carry a very nice selection of produce/goods/drinks. Think some stuff is organic, also the french eggs are very good. Location Monoprix

pat--as you know, we cook in a LOT, so it's not a big deal to bring stuff, but we are very specific and selective about what we bring.

Scuba--we are on island for less than 2 weeks, but we still prefer to eat in pretty often. I would too.

We typically use Jeannie Gunthanen’s Shopndrop grocery service for our initial stocking of our unit but from that point on we usually use one of the Carrefours or Market Garden unless we need a single item and then we might run into whatever store might be most convenient. The little market at Maho, a subsidiary of Market Garden so I was told - is the closest and would be most convenient but parking there can be very problematic.

Yes, Maho parking can be dicey. We either go to one of the big Carrefours or to Super U for virtually all our stuff. I find Market Garden to be very expensive.
