It depends whether it's grown organically like Alan grows for his family,
grown Organically (TM) as sold in the shops (some chemicals are allowed!!!)
or grown like ours with the bare minimum of chemicals and then only as a
last resort to save the crop. (still better than you can buy)

No chemicals are permitted to be used in the production of food to be
sold to the public as organic. Soil Association and HDRA give qualified
acceptance to a small number of such substances being used during
conversion from chemical to organic growing, but resulting crops cannot
legally be marketed as organic.

There may be different arrangements for so called 'Organic (TM)'
produce, but I have never discovered any food on sale under that name.
Could you detail where you have seen it?
