Herbal Medicines Cures: My "SOAP" Experience

SOAP tagline and mantra

SOAP (Spread Organic Agriculture in the Philippines), aims to link people and informations on evrything, everyone and anything under organic agriculture, led by Ms Sandra Celi of Solraya Chicken (the chicken I recommend to a friend after her children developed allergies to regular chickens in the market):

Free Ranged, Grass Fed, Pastured Colored Chickens: Raised with a lot of sunshine, fresh air, supplemented with probiotics and unmedicated feeds.(yes, this kind of chickens do exists!)

I joined this activity (SOAP) because it aims at making organic agriculture tangible, sustainable and feasible, by having more organic farmers and producers, organic produce will be cheaper and there will be no hunger and malnutrition and filipinos will be safe from what they are eating and the food will be their medicine. Our country will be no longer dependent on imported chemical products like fertilizers and pesticide that is detrimental to our health.

I am not actively involved in agriculture but organic producers have my support since I love everything organic, I also support LOCAVORE movement, which is also a form of organic living and advocate natural living and healthy lifestyle as my mission while still have remaining existence in this planet. I am happy that many of our people are responding to the call of saving our planet by doing their own little way and contribution, SOAP/ SOAPers is one of them, they are actively involved in promotions, marketing and making organic markets and suppliers available, they are a hard working group that help one another, sharing tips, markets, farm tours, education, those starting up their organic farms, a wide network of organic farmers, producers, aquaculture etc etc, I learned so much from their threads and conversations and inputs, very educational, now I am dreaming of my own big organic farm someday! hope to visit more of their organic markets and exhibits, seminars and workshops and farm tours.

SOAP/SOAPers booth @ Chefs on Parade, SMX Mall of Asia

I excitedly visited exhibits at Chefs on Parade event in held last March 3, 2013 at SMX Mall of Asia (MOA), Roxas Blvd, PH. An event of culinary feasts, feats, showdown and exhibitions, a visual delight for a foodie like me. I am glad that SOAP is there, to represent and offer organic lifestyle to our chefs and foodies, many people are into delicious and healthy cooking these days and SOAP and Chefs can work hand in hand in delivering this needs and lifestyle change that people want to embrace, Many chefs and food industry key persons check out SOAP exhibits and was given SOAP directory, a directory of all organic producers and supplier all over the country.
