Fresh pesticide-free highland vegetables at Bornion

-


Some of the vegetables available
MOST of us are health conscious and wants to consume good fresh food untainted by herbicide and pesticide. We think longingly of the olden days when manure was very natural to say the least. However it later became easier to just buy the fertilizers and spread them over our vegetable patches.

We have since learned that the best vegetables and potatoes are not necessarily the largest and the juiciest but those that are grown naturally, not sprayed by pesticides or fertilised by chemical-based fertilisers. 

Those of us who wants to consume  Chemical free vegetables and potatoes can now purchase them  from  a farmer's store located at Lot 15, Ground Floor at Bornion Centre, Luyang.

The store which opened officially for business on Oct 27 welcomes consumers daily from 7am to 4pm, except on Wednesday.

Spokesman for the store, Norazman Jamdin said the vegetables are acquired from contract farmers who apply organic farming in their agricultural endeavors.

The farmers who cultivate their farms on the highland of Bundu Tuhan utilize high-nutrient organic fertilizer produced by Glomus Ecology, which is odorless and pathogen-free, he stressed.

According to him, they supply the outlet three times a week depending on market demand.

He shared that vegetable prices are very affordable as compared to other similar products in the market, adding that there are more than ten types of vegetables on sale as well as a few variety of highland rice.

The outlet which can accommodate up to 15 people at any one time hopes to promote awareness on the goodness of organic food to consumers while supporting a healthy eating lifestyle, he added.

He said the site was chosen for its conducive and convenient position for shoppers.

Also available in the shop are Glomus Ecology natural fertilizers which are sold in user friendly packs.




This means that consumers do not only have a choice of vegetables in the store but acquire the fertilizer for their own use. They can even start their own vegetable patch in their backyard. With the Glomus products they can hope to enjoy luscious vegetables from their own garden. -AG.
