Conventional fruit growers who apply synthetic pesticides to their crops typically practice Integrated Pest Management, which results in the least possible use of chemicals to prevent and manage pest problems. There are many plant diseases and insect pests of fruit crops in the mid-Atlantic so farmers apply fungicides and insecticides as needed, as well as herbicides to control weeds. There are required pre-harvest intervals, the time between spraying and harvesting, that growers follow to reduce pesticide exposure to workers and the people who eat the fruit.

Specific pest management practices vary from grower to grower but many use some of the same pesticides. You can ask the grower for information on their practices and the pesticides used. 

Even organic growers will need to use some type of control to limit disease and insects on their crops. If they are certified organic then they would need to be following the USDA organic rules/laws. You can ask those growers as well what they are using. 

Always rinse produce with water before preparation, cooking, and consumption.
