Episode of the YouTube Fully Charged Show showcasing a Kiwi cherry grower that has gone fully electric. Sadly not growing organic cherries, though.

what's different between what they're growing and an organic option?

It specifically goes into their pesticide/herbicide/fungicide spraying apparatus without any mention of organic means of doing so, so my expectation is that they are not an organic farm. There is no mention of organic farming at any point.
