Weird anectode, we used to have 50 acres behind Coffs Harbour (48 acres of bush), when we had excess we'd sell some to the local organic wholesaler. She inisited it was perfect or customers wouldn't buy it. I was kind of bemused because the only way it's getting that way in any volume is pesticides.
Another anecdote, we had all sorts of different fruit but they onky wanted the same fruit you get supermarkets, as that was all that sold (apple, bananas, mandarins and oranges...we only had the latter two)
You lived in Coffs... and didn't have bananas?! Outrageous
They didn't feel they could compete with the big one.
