My dinner treat: Free range egg with table salt in vegetable oil

One night, my mom was not able to find a cooked dish in our favorite market in Brgy. Lorega. So to overcome my desire to crave for something to eat, I asked my mom to cook me our newly harvested free range eggs. I asked her to cook it sunny side up, just try to imagine having  sunny side up for dinner.

While my mom was cooking the egg, I was also taking pictures of it in order to temporarily forget hunger :-)

The choosen one

Different shades of our free range eggs

Right after breaking the shell of our free range egg, the first thing that you will notice is the presence of an inside membrane, a translucent sheet that further protects the yolk and the egg white. This is very much different from a standard white egg.

Free range egg with table salt in vegetable oil. Yummy :-)

Latest farmer in the province of Dumanjug, Cebu: Mr. Vicente Sanoy

I had my first correspondence with Mr. Sanoy while he was still working in Saudi early this March. When he arrived in the Philippines, I had an opportunity of meeting him in person and discussed matters pertaining to growing free range chickens in Cebu. I shared to him my two years experience in growing free range chickens.

Mr. Sanoy used the space beneath their house as his brooding area. He used indigenous materials to cut down cost. 

Last April 13, 2011, he received his first 100 Inasal type and 50 Layer type Day Old Chicks (DOCs) at the Mactan Airport. Together with him is another farmer, Mr. Jon Kho who also received his first batch of pekin ducklings.

They are an addition to the number of local farmers of free range chickens and pekin ducks that I'm helping in Cebu. In the future, their produce will be supplied in the main stream of Cebu market. This would ensure steady supply of free range chicken and pekin duck meat and no need for others to smuggle from other countries.

Good luck guys and keep up the spirit of natural farming alive.
