A standard 100g serving of fresh aratiles (Muntingia calabura), also known as the Jamaica cherry or kerson fruit, is exceptionally rich in Vitamin C, Calcium, and antioxidants

Aratiles is native to Philippines but not indigenous. It can grow as big as a chico tree and bears a ton of fruit. usually towards summer. The intense sweetness of the fruit carries dense medicinal value, packed with secondary metabolites like flavonoids, tannins, and saponins - which helps Gout/Uric Acid Management, Blood Pressure and Blood Sugar Management, and anti-inflammatory properties.

Aside from its amazingly juicy, sweet and nutrition-rich fruit, the leaves can also be used as an herbal tea which transforms the plant's dense concentration of flavonoids, polyphenols, and essential oils into an easily absorbable liquid form

Our tree started giving fruit at the start of summer but surprisingly still giving tons of fruit towards this rainy season. Let me know if you want more of these in your baskets or if you are not getting it, let me know if you want to try it. It is very popular among my kids as a quick healthy snack!!!

Dearest Subscribers,

This week, I am sending you a bag of healthy bread freshly baked by one of our subscribers, Adrienne Ty. Adrienne is a mother of 4 and a very health conscious parent. She runs https://www.facebook.com/TYnapaybyAdz/ and she is also into real estate. Adrienne has been baking since 2020 and she recently developed this new line of healthy bread that I wanted to share with you because my girls love them. She uses unbleached flour and she ferments the dough longer to boost good bacteria and deepens flavour.

We made a sample bag for all of you - Sourdough, Focacia and Sourdough Pandesal!

If you like it and are interested, feel free to contact TYnapay by Adz or Adrienne Ty so I can include this in your weekly vegetable deliveries.

Thank you Adrienne Ty for rushing this sample batch for my subscribers this early!

Root crops have been staple in our family even before we went into farming. Arrowroot is special to us because it is the latest addition to the root crops that we grow and it has very unique taste. Jean grew up eating this but I, grew up in city, have never seen Uraro in its natural form until 3yrs ago when we started planting it.

Arrow root or Uraro is a cousin of ginger. It is extremely high in fiber, nutrients and minerals. And surprisingly, our kids love it because of its kamote-like sweetness in a chewy crunchy package.

This morning, we are dipping Uraro in my garden fresh shakshuka made from freshly picked organic tomatoes, dill, oregano, bellpeppers and our own organic eggs. Topping this with a generous amount of freshly picked parsley, carrot tops, and corriander. On the side, my kids also love dipping Uraro in honey.

Thank you for inviting us and allowing us to share our perspectives on the current state of agriculture. We truly appreciate the warm welcome — allowing our daughters to share why plants as food is always a better choice and why we should all have it, and the dangers of industrial agriculture especially to their future. As a family, we will continue to communicate the small changes that we can do to help our environment and the people around us. Looking forward to more collaborations with students! 🌱l

Workshop with Den & Jeans Natural Farm.

Connecting food culture and growing food is part science and most parts wisdom. "Organic" , "wellness" , "sustainability" are overused and abused buzz words with misaligned intentions.

We do customised workshops for people starting a farm, or looking into simple ways to grow their food or want to generate revenue from their unused properties while also feeding their mind, body and soul. We will give you a wider perspective on food growing and food culture that connect the dots from health, environmental protection, community, social inequality and spirituality.

Connect with us!

Thank you to team Kandy for allowing us to meddle with their minds for an entire day!!!

Celebrating a milestone and stronger collaboration ✨🤝Jean and I have never thought of servicing a restaurant as sophisticated as Linamnam, more so a Michelin starred establishment. Team Linamnam visited our farm and we discussed future plans, and new projects. We foraged and we talked about some indigenous crops.

Team Linamnam prepared amazing food and we also cooked our native favorites! We shared stories and laughter... It was a blast!

We are grateful for this partnership that pushes us to be better. Looking forward to more stars for team Linamnam and we are very excited for the what lies ahead! Thank you Chef for making the time to be with our team! 🙏🏼

Back in July of 2022, , we met this young chef. He champions native produce and wants to elevate FILIPINO food through his creations. He wants to bring back pre-colonial food but through modern techniques. He wants us to find our Filipino roots and be proud of our uniqueness through food.

He talked about his vision during our short conversation via phone and we deeply connected during his visit to the farm. We shared the same views and goals on sustainability, food growing and environmental conservation. We started planting some native produce him and on October of 2022, we delivered our first batch of produce to his humble 10-seater restaurant.

Today marks our 3rd year of collaboration. We went through experimentations, foraging, he did a lot of mind-boggling fermentations, trials with indigenous crops - all for the fun of it but also to show what nature can really provide. It was an amazing journey. We have been deeply grateful for each and every day we know Chef Don. When we heard about Michelin visiting the Philippines, we were excited for him. And he made it!

Congratulations Linamnam and Chef Don for a well deserved star! We are very excited of what's coming up next and the challenges that lie ahead!

In case you haven't been to Linamnam, we highly recommend that you visit it one day. You will be transformed and you will truly appreciate the possibilities of Filipino food!
