Festival in Karachi promotes organic culture

The Beacon House Farmers Market Festival was held on June 5, 2022 at the Beacon House PECHS campus with the theme and slogan “Let’s Go Organic” and offered unique ideas and techniques for maintaining a healthy lifestyle while promoting a new selection of organic food and products. such as fresh fruits, vegetables, clay products and pottery, flowers, plants, and herbs.

The one-day event invited people to get their own coupons to purchase products from different stalls. The event focused on natural and organic products such as baby shampoo and conditioner, face masks, and aloevera scrubs.

A pottery machine was set-up on a stall to show how clay products are being made, while there was also an organic, handmade chick brooder on display. The students had set up nearly 24 stalls where they exhibited their products. Parents were seen at the festival supporting their children while teachers guided and motivated their students.

“We arranged this event as it is a necessity of the moment because we don’t take care of our health and we forgot about the organic diet and goods. Therefore, it’s an initiative to promote healthy nutrition and organic products just so students and visitors can realise the value of a healthy lifestyle,” a teacher told BOLD.

The management organised a modest live concert to entertain the crowd. There were plants exhibited as well to teach students and attendees about the sifgnificance of plants and trees.

“This is a fantastic idea, as many people are unaware of the benefits of organic foods, such as fitness. Eating fatty foods and junk food is not just bad for our health and physique; when you eat healthy, it not only keeps you fit but also makes you feel great. So I think this concept should continue and Beacon House should do this event every year. There were also various medical booths where people could learn about various herbs, plants, and medications and see how they might be used for medicinal purposes,” he further stated.
