Artisan, sure great to hear from u. You are right, we need all the help we can just to get this off the ground. seems we are initially getting a fine list of prospective concessionaires. a farmers group have signified their intention to join Gil’s seminar in cebu. a vanilla bean grower, a roasted sea salt maker, a stevia extract vendor, an organic/natural soap retailer and another inquiry which i still have to find out what. hope the readers here in market manila could shout out Gil’s seminar to other folks interested to learn and streamline organic food into their lifestyle.

Susie B and RT….Dropped by Gustavian’s Butcher Shop last Saturday morning around 10:30 and no vendor was around outside selling any of their products. It was a letdown considering that they had posters all over the place saying that the farmer’s market was from 9am to 2pm. Drove by again around noon and their were 2 vendors (Pino’s Lechon and ML Chicken). While I was there, some people also came by and were kinda disappointed. Considering that the whole “farmers market” is principally financed by one guy, his people could have done a better job.

I will check them out again next week, to see if they got their act together.

Anyway, I’m hoping that we can do a better job. We already have Marketman’s commitment to get a stall for his world famous lechon. A supplier for Tsokolate from Argao has also agreed to get a stall. I’m hoping that some homebakers will join so that we can incorporate a section ala Bakers Dozen of Rockwell Mall in Makati. Hopefully, The participants of Gil Carandang’s seminar will also be ready with their produce.

RT, I got the interest of a food columnist, in one of the major local papers, to do a write up about Gil’s seminar and advocacy. She should be contacting you anytime soon.

I’m hoping that more readers here will come up and offer to be part of the group to organize the farmers market. I need your help guys.
