Here I will be posting where to find Organic products. Please let me know if anyone out there knows of anything to add.

Markets:::
El Galpon http://www.elgalpon.com.ar/
I love this place! I am there most Sabado's and some Miercole's. This is now my main resource for organic produce, eggs, cheese, mate, honey, grains and more....
My favorite!! Bakery in the whole world so far.... Organic, Local and DELICOUS. I love their mixbrot loaf, empanadas, tartas and their budin chocolate. mmm
This is a market/deli/cafe. You can find alot of organic products, vitamins and beauty products. However, no produce. The cafe serves organic coffee and tea and they also serve natural organic food.
Jumbo Palermo
the argentine version of a super target carries some organic produce,eggs and has a small products section

This is a link to a site that rates the pesticide load in "conventional"(non organic) fruits and veggies. Peaches being the worst and Onions being the least contaminated. It's worth taking a look at as it's not always possible to be 100% organic no matter where you are.
