Why We Started and How We Got Here

Why We Started and How We Got Here

 

Have you ever wondered how a Filipina ended up marrying a Canadian farmer and bringing a taste of the Philippines to the Great White North? Well, grab a seat and get ready for a wild ride through our story!

Love Knows No Borders

It all started with a love story that crossed continents. Our Filipina protagonist fell head over heels for a Canadian farmer, and the rest, as they say, is history. But what do you do when you miss the flavors of home in a land far, far away?

Bringing the Tropics to the Tundra

One thing led to another, and before we knew it, we were knee-deep in a greenhouse filled with banana plants, citrus like kalamansi, lemon and mandarin trees, fig trees, dragon fruit, bougainvilleas, hibiscus, and many more. Who knew you could find a slice of the Philippines in the heart of Canada?

Friends, Family, and a Whole Lot of Love

With the support of friends and family, we turned our dream of sharing the vibrant flavors of the Philippines with our Canadian neighbours into a reality. It wasn't always easy (greenhouses are no walk in the park, let me tell you), but the love and passion we poured into our little slice of paradise made it all worth it.

So, the next time you bite into a juicy mango or savour the tangy sweetness of a kalamansi, remember that for us it all started with a love story that defied borders and a dream that blossomed in the most unexpected of places. Here's to love, laughter, and a greenhouse full of Filipino goodness!
