The Dirty Dozen…

I have kept this article from Martha Stewart Living Magazine about the 12 fruits and vegetables with the most pesticide residue.  These are the varieties where it is WORTH buying organic—or better yet, growing in your own backyard!

Apples

Bell Peppers

Carrots

Celery

Cherries

Grapes

Kale

Nectarines

Peaches

Pears

Strawberries

We have all these planted in our little urban farm, except for the cherry trees, which I have ordered from the Phoenix Permiculture Guild and will plant this January.
