Would you know where they sell organic free-range poultry?
Hi Maria! I think Fresh Start Organics has free range chicken. You can contact them at (034) 444-1751
We invite organic foods enterprises to add their company (with or without website) to our search engine for the food and agriculture industries of the Philippines. It’s FREE! The search queries on organic foods suppliers are are growing significantly from global sources. Visit our site, http://www.sourcephilfood.com.
Thank you Rusty, we’ll try to inform the organic producers on Negros about your site.
When is the next Organic Festival?
Probably first week of December. Will update this blog as soon as the schedule is already available.
