The Model Market of Sade Hayat Society has been Opened

The model market named Sade Pazar (The Simple Bazaar) of Sade Hayat Society is opened by the volunteer members of the society. Bahadır and Seval Cevizci who are the members of the administrative council of society, rule the Sade Pazar Project (SPP - The Simple Bazaar Project).

All products in the market have unimitable and recognisable differences. It’s possible to find a wide range of natural, pure, clean and healthy products and crops; from olive oil to natural washing soda. These products and crops are assembled by the Society members. These matchless things are all in demand.

The member of Administrative Council and the director of SPP Seval Cevizci states:

“There are strict standarts that we are really urgent about. The products should be:

• no Genetically Modified
• produced in the most natural way
• no refined by no means
• included no chemicals which are harmful or threatening for human and environment
• good and lawful (halal)
• bought directly from the grower/manufacturer as much as possible
• meet Sade Hayat Standards (SHS) etc.”

Seval says none of the products which doesn’t match the Standards can enter to Sade Pazar. Se also says  that, by the means of Standards, many people confuses their products with the Organic Certified products. Bahadir Cevizci, the co-director of SPP says:

“ Yes, many products in Sade Pazar are equivalents of Organic products. Some people mistakes us for the organic shop. But that’s not true at all. We conform SHS when we are choosing the products. When we were determining the rules of Standards, we met many of the institutes which are giving certificate. We saw that many GMO products can have organic certificate. It’s impossible for us to accept. Besides, organic products are unreachably expensive for many people. Sometimes you have to pay a lot just because the product is certificated. But we aim to serve people healthy, natural, pure, good and halal product so cheap that everyone can buy.”

Bahadir Cevizci also says that many certification companies have a list of risky crops. If the crop is not on that list, they don’t make any test about GM and they may give the certificate.

There are not only foods in Sade Pazar. Spices, natural extra virgin olive oil and olive oil soap, the vinegar which is pickled by the Society members in person, pure wool, 100% cotton and 100% silk clothes, grains with no GMO and no chemicals, natural washing soda, borax, soft soap from unburnt oil and other cleaning materials, even natural barleymeal.

“We ascertain almost every product where it is coming from, in which circumstance it is produced etc. We sell no product that we won’t use.

Sade Pazar is a boutique shop. For instance, you can find natural red brass which the farmers  almost grow it for their own, in a minimum price. If someone comes and buys all the red brass, It won’t be possible for you to find it for a long time.”

If you send your name, surname, mobile or home number to sadepazar@sadehayat.org, Cevizci says they can inform you about these kind of unique products.

In a near future, Sade Pazar is preparing to serve fresh milk and natural eggs. They are also accepting the orders about these.

“Every caw’s milk will be bottled separately and delivered in the same day. The eggs is from the free chickens. It’s almost impossible to find such things nowadays.”

“The people who are coming from other cities complain about that they can’t find these things in their town. That demand forced us to have a delivery service. We are starting the delivery service this month (in Feb 09).”

as Bahadir states.
