The process begins with the seed being planted in an area with good drainage, good dirt, and a climate suited for citrus plants. Then, they are matured, and after 2 - 3 years, their fruits are harvested and sold. ]]> 2021-05-05 21:25:22 UTC https://padlet.com/3582384/khuoei1fhsjzyhvj/wish/1495824008 3582384 https://padlet.com/3582384/khuoei1fhsjzyhvj/wish/1495847907 After the oranges are harvested from their trees, they begin their transportation process. They are put on a truck and transported to a "distribution hub" where they are packaged with other things that are going to the same store and placed on larger trucks to be distributed to their respective super markets, this streamlined approach lowers cost for the producer, reflecting in lower consumer prices. ]]> 2021-05-05 21:36:45 UTC https://padlet.com/3582384/khuoei1fhsjzyhvj/wish/1495847907 3582384 https://padlet.com/3582384/khuoei1fhsjzyhvj/wish/1495854516 The production isn't much different because when referring to food organic means "without chemicals" rather than "non-synthetic" as it does in most other places. Essentially, the difference between an organic and a non-organic orange is that the organic one has been grown without pesticides or other chemicals and preserves which can be bad for the environment and your health.  ]]> 2021-05-05 21:40:03 UTC https://padlet.com/3582384/khuoei1fhsjzyhvj/wish/1495854516 3582384 https://padlet.com/3582384/khuoei1fhsjzyhvj/wish/1495861519 Of course! California has always had an existing orange industry, which explains "Orange County" which used to be filled with orange orchards. Nowadays, the closest orange producer to San Diego is Shadow Creek Ranch, located in Ramona, they are less of a large producer and more of a "farmers market" type of seller. ]]> 2021-05-05 21:43:32 UTC https://padlet.com/3582384/khuoei1fhsjzyhvj/wish/1495861519
