If organic produce has better taste and texture (and it often does), it is mostly because of different seed stock, not the farming method. Large factory farms normally use hybrid seeds to create produce that travels well, resists herbicides, grows uniformly, looks good, and has long shelf life. Taste and texture are secondary.
