Not organic by the first world standards, but as clean and biodegradable as they get in argentina - and free of disgusting commercial fragrances that will not go away even if you rinse a 100 times. The best and the cheapest are at mercado solidario Bonpland, first stand / tienda on the left from the entrance. Same market has clean and organic groceries and produce, just avoid shopping at the first tienda on the right run by a very unpleasant 60+ couple - grossly overpriced and they are rather obnoxious. Passed them there are two great stands with variety of produce of great quality and better prices and the vendors are lovely. In the middle there is a shop selling La Choza dairy, olive oil, grains from Naturaleza viva, and lots of other stuff that dieteticas mostly fake and charge double for.

I am friends with some of the people who run the stand you are talking about. Its a cooperative, and they only sell things made by the members- which include an organic mate farm, soap makers, people who make tomato sauce, juice, cheese, vegan crackers, clothing, and much more. They know, personally, who made whatever you buy there.
I recommend it highly.
We buy food at Bonpland every week when we are in BsAs.
Its a great place to get produce, cheese, dry goods and tandil salami, at lower prices than most Palermo or Recoleta stores.
