Thanks - I thought that would be the answer but no harm in asking

I suspect that there are others like me who want a lawn before the
summer comes but also doesn't want turf made with pesticide... perhaps
an emerging market...

I highly doubt it. Because whatever residue is left on commercial
sod isn't enough to worry about for enough people to make a viable
market, especially when they see the price. I can see if you want to
use organic products moving forward, but to obsess over buying
commercial sod because it might have been treated with non-organic
products doesn't make sense to me. Meanwhile, your kids are also
walking on the neighbors lawn, an athletic field, or park, all of
which could be actively treated at any time. I suspect they are
eating plenty of kid type food that isn't organic either.
