How can they grow such beautiful organic apples without pesticides?
Organic apple growers are increasingly turning to pheremones (chemical signals emitted by insects) to disrupt the mating process of coddling moths. This process is expensive, and many farmers simply cull out the damaged apples turning over between 20 to 80% of their crops to processors (for making cider, applesauce, etc.) and only sell undamaged apples to produce markets.
