Try not only replacing the meat with organic meat, but also try to eat less meat. We skipped the meat and became (parttime) vegetarians. It saved lots of money, so we could spend that on the more expensive organic/local food. If there were moments we really wanted to eat meat, we bought the organic meat. It had many advantages, our cooking skills improved drastically, since we had to be creative without the meat, which is fun. And as an extra bonus, we lost a lot of (over)weight!! :-) We tried something else concerning the meat.

It's not as easy as washing fruits/veggies to clean off any residual chemical treatments.

Grass-fed vs grain-fed vs feed-fed, etc.. If there are options at your farmers market, try a few. Also, try some of the non-traditional meats. Elk, bison, boar, etc.. They're often leaner and more flavourful than their regular alternatives. The difference in meat flavour is more affected by feed than raising practices. Grass-fed vs grain-fed vs feed-fed, etc..
