The one Organic farm I know well sells fresh produce right picked that 
day.  It is clean, crisp, and not bug eaten.  It is also free from 
pesticides and the ground is fertilized with compost and cover crops.  I 
know just how well it is done because I help out there sometimes and have 
followed from picking to farmer's market.

His stuff is good and he is always looking for something new.  He currently 
farms about 150 acres in and around Hollister, CA.  I recently helped him 
buy a mid 50s tractor and a water truck.
