I'm always sad to see my sweet bell peppers at the top of the dirty list. I can't find organic ones where I shop. :(

Have you talked to your produce manager at your store? We are a small town (so small, the nearest stuffmart is 1.5h away). Needless to say, our grocery store has minimal, esp. in the way of organics. However, citrus is one of my BIGGEST priorities in organics, and they happily order cases of organic produce for me. Actually anything the Kroger stores would carry (as in in their system) they order for me. I have City Market here. I also know that if you buy by cases, they offer a 10% discount. I believe that applies to cases that are IN store as well. However, not sure if it applies to produce

It wouldn't hurt to ask, the worst they can do is say no, then you can contact corporate if they say no & ask corporate about their ordering cases for customers policy. Especially in this economy, I've found a lot more places are willing to negotiate to keep us happy, whereas a couple of years ago, they went out of their way to say no to everything.
