About Me

My photo
The Organic Mom
Cavite, Philippines
I am an organic gardener in my 60's newly retired, and quite a simple person who will trade going to a grand party in the city for time on the beach watching the sunrise. I am a day person, who loves the sun and heat, summer strolls in a cool forest, and will go in search of hummingbird moths after a rain, or enjoy waiting for my favorite kingfisher to to perch on my fence!I moved to the countryside 20 years ago. My farm is located in an area that is well known for organic farms, coconut, mango , orchards and coffee plantations! I see a the big crowded cities overflowing with people , traffic, garbage and I want no part of it, but subdivisions, golf courses and shopping malls are cropping up everywhere! My little farm still is and always will be a small little hideaway for me to have communion with God in His natural world!
