Organic doesn't necessarily equal artisan, nor does artisan mean organic.... you can get Safeway's O organics line of bread that is whole wheat, but pretty much regular soft sandwich bread. I know there are a few other brands out here that do organic breads that are not hard crust French or Italian artisan styles too. On the other hand some of the tastiest artisan breads around here are not organic (though by their nature do not have nasty stuff like HFC's or preservatives in them - looking at their bread ingredients most loaves have simply flour, water, yeast and salt unless the recipe specifically calls for some sweetener - like in challa).
I'm betting with some of the others here that the woman was concerned over the cost more than anything.
