One of
the perks of being in my line of work is the frequent going to exceptionally incredible
places.. for free! – one of which was a sponsored excursion late last March in an organic farm
mainly intended to promote, propagate, and develop the organic practice of farming
in the country, help reduce environmental degradation, prevent the depletion of
natural resources, help promote the health of farmers, consumers, and the
general public, and even serve as a tourist destination and an excellent site
for relaxation, the organic way.
Being the organic farm it claims to be, it
follows that the fertilizers they use exclude those that are synthetic and
inorganic in nature and other commercial pesticides in sustaining the needs of
the crops. The same goes to their livestock, being fed with their surplus organic
crops. As far as how I understand the method they adapt, the farm tries to
implement various farm techniques such as crop rotation, mulching, composting,
among others, while trying to incorporate some modern agricultural technologies
(which was primarily why we’re there that time).
The entire farm visit was practically
informative, though their incomparable version of organic salad and the
cucumber shake in a glass that barely perspire, topped it all. So for an intangible farm experience, I suggest you have to visit it yourself. Meanwhile,
here’s a feast of mouth watering teaser to tickle you a little.
