Great vegetables and more at the Thursday Organic Market

We've already posted about the Thursday Organic Market at ATC, but here are some photos to show you the great things you can purchase there. The tomatoes and peppers in the photo below are just gorgeous and taste as good as they look.



I don't purchase vegetables at the supermarket anymore because the selection at the market is pretty complete. Also, considering the veggies you get here are safer for your family (organic means no chemicals or pesticides), and that they're better looking and tasting, you only pay a fraction of the amount that you normally would at the supermarket. Their salad greens and cabbage heads, for example range from P10 (!) to P40 (as opposed to more than double that at the supermarket).




This booth (above) sells various organic, Philippine-made products like coffee, varieties of brown rice, organic eggs, muscovado and coconut sugar, bottles of natural vanilla, and fresh dairy milk and yogurt. The selection changes weekly so make sure to place orders of the products you like.


There is a French baker (a real one, not to be confused with the French Baker chain ; ) who makes delicious buttery croissants, danishes, olive bread, baguettes and my favorite brown "squirelly" bread (has nuts and grains) and my kids' favorite, chocolate twists.

Beautiful and delicious produce from an organic farm in Tagaytay:










So please visit the market every Thursday from 7am til about noon, at the ATC parking lot. Their website is at www.organic.ph. You may just become a convert like we are.
