This is written on the box: No preservatives or sulfites added. You can contact them directly at:Cherry Central Cooperative.Inc, PO Box 988, TRaverse City. MI 49685 to ask about the use of pesticides. I've been ordering from this company for over 9 years and have never had a problem with this product.

My reasoning exactly. Since "we are what we eat", we owe it to ourselves to know as much as we can about what we ingest. The more organic, the better ! As to how I keep my cherries: upon arrival, I get rid of the plastic bags they are packaged in originally, and transfer them in 2L glass canning jars (with a rubber gasket on the attached lid). I think glass is better than plastic to maintain a neutral taste, especially over longer periods of time and at room temperature. Our jars of cherries sit out on the counter, not in the frig. Thanks for sharing !

This question is quite worthwhile and should be submitted directly to the producers. The product description on Amazon says: "No preservatives or sulfites". That was important to me. However, nowhere does it say that these cherries are "organic". Therefore, we have to assume they are not. I noticed in other reviewers' comment that they reported an oily coating on the cherries. In some cases, that coating had even gone rancid and the customer had to ask for a replacement which turned out to be excellent. I was not aware of any quality problems with these cherries and these remarks concern me... Our experience with these cherries has been wonderful all the way ! I hope you can get more details from the producers. This question is quite worthwhile and should be submitted directly to the producers.

Always read the label on a pesticide its the law call Bayer if you can't find answer.I know you have to be careful about the water running out of pot it has pesticide in it.

No they don't. You have to use some judgment of when to change them out. Also need to consider that if they lay around they will be picking up organics from the air - and being used up from just laying around.

We love using Palouse Garbanzos, but I was not sure on the Pesticides issue. After contacting Palouse directly, this was their response: "Thank you for your interest in our Garbanzo Beans. We do use some pesticides on our farm, however we've been certified by the Food Alliance as a sustainable farm and are not allowed to use certain pesticides as part of the certification. If you're interested in more information regarding their certification requirements and to see the list of restricted pesticides, please go to foodalliance.org." ..Hope this helps!

Should work fine as long as the viscosity is correct. I would assume pesticides would not be too thick. Just be careful not to add plain water as it could cause rusting on the inside.

This was a concern of mine, too. The company's website states that the sugar beets are grown in Poland, where GMO's are not allowed by law.

Our farm is not organic. With that said we do use integrated pest management and are Global GAP approved. Integrated pest management (IPM) means that we use traps to monitor fly activity and then spray only as needed, minimizing pesticide use. We also use attract and kill products, an organic certified technique, to further minimize spraying. It is, however, necessary to spray when fly pressure exceeds preventative measures. Global GAP certification is a third party audit that examines, among other things, our pesticide use to ensure that we are using best agricultural practices. That's the long answer. The short answer is , no, we are not organic or pesticide free, but we do minimize their usage.

Yeah, it's just what they need and they won't lose the natural fungus and bacteria that break down organic material to produce more natural fertilizer. But I would make sure to dilute it very well. Most people burn by using too much. Keeping the soil consistently moist is most important for soil health and for seedlings

The bottle says it is USDA certified organic. As a rule, only naturally derived pesticides or synthetic ingredients of low toxicity may be used if any. It's as good as it gets. I don't think the company could use the USDA seal if it didn't comply with its standards.

Yes. If I remember correctly, the two main ingredients are vinegar and clove oil. It will kill the vegetable plants if they are sprayed, but the components of the spray are non toxic and acceptable for organic vegetable gardening.

The cultivation ponds of organic and premium products are located in the same areas and use the same source of spring water. So both organic and premium products are free from heavy metal contamination, pollution, chemicals, pesticides and herbicides. The quality control systems are the same for both of them. We therefor can offer you the highest quality product at a price that the average person can afford. At least that is our goal.

When I looked into this, I was satisfied that SP uses organically maintained farmland and livestock. It might be worth your time to double check and do some in-depth sleuthing because I checked 10 years ago.

I don't know, but I've grown flax and I don't think there is much need for pesticide.

It is my understanding that bamboo is sustainable, grows quickly. Pesticides and herbicides are used heavily on cotton crops, harming the environment.

No, I don't actually know, but peanuts come in a shell so any pesticides used would not be in the final product anyway. I use this stuff and love love love it.
