After our happy tour and sumptuous lunch over Penalosa Farm, we went straight to Fresh Starts Organic farm. From afar I saw a well organized small field with proper planting system.
Small background about Fresh Start Organics, the farm is owned by another Ramon, organic foods advocate Sir Ramon “Chin-chin” Uy Jr. I have heard of Fresh Start before from its various organic products in the market. Fresh Start Organics offers a long list of organic products ranging from specialty greens, fresh and dried herbs, fruits, vegetables, rice, coffee, sweeteners, personal care products, healthy beverages, fresh and handmade piyaya, hot chocolate from real cacao and yes, yogurts.
Back in 2005, Fresh Start started in a 2500-square meter area converting waste into organic fertilizer. Today, it operates several organic farms, food and personal care production facility, marketing and distribution of organic and natural products in partnership with small organic farming communities in Negros occidental.
They also showed us these little mutant (bulates) and how big help it gives in converting organic materials (usually wastes) into humus-like material known as vermicompost.
Fresh Start Organics also supports small business and local entrepreneurs which use organic, healthy ingredients and feature their products in the Fresh Start Organic and Natural Store.
We visited the store of Fresh Start Organics at Central City Walk at Robinsons and from there we had a taste of the real organic Piaya oh God I can still remember how I make pakyaw these only to find out organizers gave us another pack hehe. This new organic store sells a wide variety of certified organic, natural, healthy, artisanal, and eco-friendly products produced locally in partnership with small organic farming communities.
Fresh Start Organics offers wide varieties and selection of organic and natural products not only Negros but in different areas in the country like Metro Manila, Cebu , Iloilo and Dumaguete.
