Let us promote and practice Organic Farming!

I published a Facebook Page about Organic Farming in the Philippines this year.

It received an overwhelming response by drawing more LIKEs due to the clamor of going back to basics in farming.

Farming is not just planting rice. It involves all aspects in AGRICULTURE.

At the FB site, more than 2,000 followers have taken their interest to go ORGANIC.

It's not as simple as what I will say.

I did it myself, so, I can proudly say that the benefits of ORGANIC FARMING influences my happy disposition in life nowadays.
I have reaped the rewards of my efforts.

The following photos are just the mementos of the succulent, sweet and tasty SUCCESS of embracing what's good for our MOTHER NATURE.

We must act to heal our planet by taking care and pledging to be vigilant stewards of all GOD's creations.

This is the barrio (countryside) where I live...Baliuag Nuevo, MInalabac, Camarines Sur, BICOL PHILIPPINES.

Gabi (Taro) varieties abound in my country. Here in Bicol, we are fond of cooking our most-talked about LAING delicacies (Bicol Express and the fusion of it).

SIGARILYAS also abound in our place. If eaten fresh, it can cure a lot of health problems in our bodies.

BUNGKUKAN, a variety of taro plant used to add  body and taste to local dishes, like NILAGA, IGADO and more.
The SUMMER of 2015 gave us a lot of INDIAN MANGOES to harvest for. Thank you, Lord.

INISKO, a crossbreed between LATUNDAN and SABA varieties of banana.

Oh, my TOMATOES! I used to eat it fresh from its stalk with a little dash of salt.
My biggest harvest, so far. PAPAYA!!!

Who can sweeten this sour fruits? CAMIAS

  1. I have read an article which stating health benefits of organic products. It will reduce public health risks to farm workers, their families, and consumers by minimizing their exposure to toxic and persistent chemicals on the farm and in food, the soil in which they work and play, the air they breathe, and the water they drink. Children are especially vulnerable to pesticides. Thus, offering organic food and fiber products into the marketplace gives parents the option of choosing products produced without the use of these toxins (https://www.ota.com/organic-101/health-benefits-organic). Actually, I am looking for organic stores Manila .I am interested to buy natural products that can be used at home. Thanks for this article at least I got new ideas about organic products.
