Is there any organic food in the US?
Yup. It amounts to a small percentage; 5% of all food grown in the US is as of 2011 grown organic, but the US also gets lots of imported organic foods, especially from South America. Be wary of the imported organic food if you have additional concerns about chemicals being used on your food that organic buyers are trying to avoid - international standards to come by a USDA organic label become kind of lax, some countries being worse than others, because overseers in those countries are not as rigorous about the standards as ones based in the US are. For example, some foods passed off as organic that were imported from Asia, were, in fact, sprayed with some of the same chemicals that do not qualify as organic in the US. Therefore, you may not get as high quality of organic food if you get imported.
