All-natural cherry pie filling?

I'm about to bake my first pie, and I *really* want a cherry pie. Does anyone know where I can get an all-natural (or mostly-natural) cherry pie filling? If I have to, I can live with some preservatives, but food coloring is right out — my kid is allergic to it. Whole Foods seems like the obvious choice, but I'd rather not make a trip in vain. Thanks!

Edited to add: Or, if you know where I could find frozen red/sour/tart/pie cherries (not dark/sweet ones) — again, without red dye — that would be just as good.

    not sure on the filling but as stated probably whole foods or williams sonoma (break open the piggy bank) or even chef central. whole foods and some markets sell frozen pies apple and apple blueberry by vermont mystic pie co. they are truly excellent but they also have pie crusts (frozen) to be baked if you want a short cut on the baking. hope it works out or did (late post)

      YOU CAN MAKE A REALLY EASY CHERRY PIE WITH FROZEN CHERRIES. THEY SELL THEM AT SHOPRITE OR ANY OTHER MAJOR GROCERY STORE. JUST GET A FROZEN PIE CRUST , BAG OF FROZEN CHERRIES SOME SUGAR AND TSP VANILLA EXTRACT. BAKE 350 FOR ABOUT 50 MIN. EASY AND ALL NATURAL . THE FROZEN CHERRIES SHOULD BE JUST CHERRIES ON THE INGREDEINTS NOTHING ELSE. TASTE BETTER THAN CANNED CHERRIES ALSO. MOST FROZEN CHERRIES HAVE A RECIPE ON THE BACK FOR PIE ALSO
