I'm in an organic co-op and generally use the wholefoods store for any extras I want that are not in my weekly box but if I need something on the spur of the moment and can't get organic locally I check this list put out by the EWG on what has loads of nasty pesticides and I should avoid. For more info go to www.foodnews.org
