The best oranges I ever had were organic.
Packed with flavor. I've heard it claimed
that fertilizers cause large growth but low
in flavor, while growth without fertilizer
or just organic fertilizer causes smaller
but more concentrated growth.

Another possibility is that the type of
farmer who grows organic is also the type
who invests more care producing a quality
product, rather than quality being a result
of organic methods.
