I was Googling organic fruits and found that many people find worms in the produce bought from organic farmer markets.

So how is it that supermarket organic fruits don't contain worms if presumably, they don't use pesticides on them?

What is worse than finding a worm in a piece of fruit you have bitten into ?

Because the produce is grown in well pest controlled environments using natural controls. For example natural worm preditors and sprays made up from other organic ingredients that the pests don't like.

That makes sense, I guess you'd only have to keep the fruit flies out.

a lot of the supermarket organic fruit will have been stuck in cold, low oxygen storage for months and months too,

 

plenty of time for any maggots to die and rot away leaving you with a fruit that may look bad (but not wormy) when bitten into

 

farmers markets will generally only be selling reletivly freshly picked stuff as individual farms are unlikely to have long term storagr facilities
