My diet is pretty solid, the only additions I'd like to make is eating more fruits and veggies. I just switched my morning coffee to an organic, so I guess it's a start.

In many cases fruit are just globes of water held together by fiber and sugar. More often than not, vegetables are superior in terms of micronutrients. There are exceptions though.
Don't focus too hard on "organic". A lot of the time there are loopholes around the certification and you're actually no better off in spite of having paid 50% more for the item. As I said, your best bet is buying directly from farmers at their markets. Buying from farmers is great because they sell it to you for more than if they sold it to retail and you buy it for cheaper than if you bought it from retail. I buy all my meat, butter, milk and eggs and most of my vegetables from farmers and I save money that way and get good produce. They don't have the official certification, but it doesn't actually matter.
With coffee I'm not sure what the situation is in the USA, but you should try to find some craft roasters. Usually their coffee isn't certified, but you can talk to the owners and find out where it comes from. Most of the time if you're not buying Starbucks grade coffee you're doing okay. I'm quite fortunate in the city I live in there are many craft roasters so the choice of coffees here is large.
