Herbalists, reflexologists, agriculturists, agronomists, aquaculturists–and many more–have gathered to be where the people are. At a portion of the Quezon Memorial Circle in Quezon City, they have set up to display their wares to the regulars of the park, especially those who walk, jog, picnic, or hang out on weekends.

And I call them nature entrepreneurs–they sell only what comes from nature. Herbs, organic fertilizers, organic eggs, health supplements, fertilizers from composts, and many more are on display and for sale.  They also give out lectures, seminars, workshops on a variety of topics on agriculture, aquaculture, and many more for the enterprising Filipino

AANI, the consolidator of these nature entrepreneurs, is really doing a great job in bringing products from nature closer to the people. AANI is also the group behind the weekend market in FTI Taguig.

After a morning walk last Sunday here in this park, I had two cups of the mild-tasting Cafe Amadeo and a serving of suman sa lihiya and palitaw. A cup costs only P10.00, palitaw at P5.00 a piece, and a pair of suman at only P15.00. Such an affordable superb energy-filling Filipino breakfast. And I bought lemon grass, kinchay, and pandan, ready for transplanting.

Love nature!
