Organic food, dining healthy
KOTA KINABALU:
Many people believe that organic foods have better and more beneficial
nutrients and more natural due to the absence of pesticides and herbicides.
Organic
vegetables are grown without chemical based fertilisers and more often than not
fertilisers used are nature based such as soil, chicken droppings and vegetable
matter among others.
One of the
organic farm called Green-OS sited in Kinarut just half an hour drive from the
State Capital, Kota Kinabalu offers vegetables and chicken to health conscious
consumers here.

According to spokesperson Jinnifer Missi Operations Manager of Echo Adventures, although they do not sell the farm produce to walk in consumers, they do supply supermarkets and restaurants instead.
The farm is
sited on seven acres of land, with two acres of developed area. Within the farm
there are vegetable areas of various growth including the nursery to the
vegetable beds where they are ready to be picked. The vegetables are quite
luscious and lush which belie opinions that natural organic plants are smaller
than the chemically fertilised plants. This is because the vegetables are
fertilised with composted organic matter, with soil and processed oil palm
fibres.
There are also
chicken and quails available in the farm. They are well fed and fat but quite
muscled as the range is on a hill slope. The chicken have to run up and down
the hill as they are fed at the bottom but the coop are up on the hill. This is
to ensure that they are well built and healthy. The quails are also quite big
although they are cooped up.
The Farm |
When the farm produce reaches the restaurant, namely Alu Alu Kicthen, diners can be assured of good delicious food due to the expertise of the chefs and of course it is naturally organic. The vegetables are fresh, luscious and crunchy even after being fried and the chicken is fleshy and hard without being tough. A good combination. There are an array of food offered at Alu Alu Kitchen and should really be visited by health conscious diners.
For those who
are curious about where their food originated from they can ask to visit Green
Os farm. Only 40 people can enter the farm at any one time and there is only
one tour a day. This is a working farm and the staff have their schedule to
meet in taking care of the livestock and the vegetables. They can inquire from
Echo Adventures about visiting.-PW
