Sana may organic apples na lang dito sa Pilipinas! We love apples! Our baby still eats apples, we just take the peel off. He also eats other produce that are thankfully on the Clean Fifteen List. <br /><br />And just to chime in on the farm-to-market projects, I know of and have tried Good Food Community. Their pambahay bayong is all-organic...mostly vegetables but sometimes, they include some fruit, too. I'll be blogging about my experience with their service after my crazy NaBloPoMo madness. I'll let you know once it's up...or you could just Google them now ;) Hehe :pAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05592006555487903837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-608072354846562020.post-32336194027166365892014-11-16T13:40:14.827+08:002014-11-16T13:40:14.827+08:00Buti nalang kumakain ng banana ang anak ko.. :DButi nalang kumakain ng banana ang anak ko.. :DBalot's Chatterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15387174075638235227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-608072354846562020.post-58223918571983230002014-11-15T23:45:41.390+08:002014-11-15T23:45:41.390+08:00It is really hard to avoid those chemicals, fertil...It is really hard to avoid those chemicals, fertilizers, or pesticides used in any of our foods today.
