Samuel Vena works as a chef at Longhope Villa. He has taken it upon himself to start an organic Vegetable and herb garden for RiverBend Lodge. Several areas around the RiverBend gardens have been transformed into little vegetable patches that guests can wonder through. We also started our own compost heap using organic/vegetable waste from the kitchen and garden, aiding us with our organic ‘farming’.
Organic produce has become increasingly popular over the last couple of years as consumers have become more aware of the health benefits of eating organic foods.A major concern has been the pervasive use of pesticides in farming and the hazardous presence of the pesticides residue in food.
Having our own organic vegetable garden is not only healthy, but it is also very satisfying picking your own vegetables and herbs and using it in the kitchen, knowing that it is the best quality product. To name but a few of our home grown treats: turnips, leeks, celery, spinach, rocket, lettuce, cabbage, sweet potatoes, carrots, parsley, mint, spring onion, and many more.
This is a nice blog. Yeah, growing organic vegetables have a lot of benefits for the environment, it's healthy for us, it's satisfying as what you said, and it's the best!
