Staples - Help!

This is a good one for experienced guys to answer and comment on!  I am new to Organic living, just recently doing much research on the effects of pesticides on fruits and veggies, GMOs in our corn and major food products, hormones and antibiotics in our milk, eggs and meat.  And refined sugar....the real 'crack' of society. ;)  So....not willing to give up all these things.....  Because I believe they CAN be good for my family in moderation and using the right ones. 

Doing more research (remembering I am on a tight budget) I have the following questions:

Are there any organic farms that deliver eggs in the HRM area? There must be more than Compliments brand eggs!
Where is the best place to order meat? Sobeys questionable organics chickens for $20 from Ontario...yes something besides this as the only option. lol.
What is the best economical flour (besides the white stuff - healthy stuff!) to use in baking and cooking?
What are some good uses for Coconut milk....is there benefit in the natural occurring sugars? If anyone has looked it isn't that expensive at all....with a coupon I bought some for $1. 
What is an economic sweetener?  Honey, applesauce?  Can these be used in place of white sugar or will the baking be mushy? Cane sugar can be pricey but is this all there is?

This is an open discussion and one that would help out tremendously. 

So if you know some suggestions to one or all the questions feel free to comment on my blog or facebook.

Thank you! :)
