Locally Yours

A circular table, named people

Farmers, artisans, cooperatives, and barangay groups sit inside the same East Ridge ecosystem. What grows here returns as soil, pesos, and classrooms.

The impactful journey

From a named farm to the terrace — and back again

Locally Yours is not a badge. It is the path a lot takes: seed, craft, direct trade, kitchen, guest, return. Every partner on this directory has a place on that path.

Seed

A named farm, loom, or kitchen. Locally Yours starts with a person and a place — not a commodity code.

Grow & make

Coffee cherries, ube, tablea, weave, bread. Partners keep the craft; we take only what the ridge can serve.

Qualify & trace

LGU permits and a lot card. Barangay, farm, harvest date — so the kitchen can name the origin, not a broker.

Direct trade

A lot price, a delivery date, a WhatsApp thread. Pesos go to the cooperative or the maker.

The table

Guests taste a place. The menu names the origin. Green Points stay with the same visit.

Return

Grounds, bottles, sacks, and a next-season order close the circle. Waste becomes soil; pesos become classrooms.

Versus outsourcing

A barangay lot beats a distant seal

Certified imports still sail thousands of kilometers and leak pesos. Locally Yours asks for a barangay clearance, a Mayor’s permit or CDA certificate, and a harvest date. That is the competition.

Barangay model

Samahan first, CDA when ready

Fifteen neighbors, a common bond, a hall that already knows the grower. Convert to a CDA primary cooperative when the papers catch up — the kitchen can buy in the meantime.

Cooperative

Cordillera Arabica Collective

Atok & Sagada, Cordillera

Forty-two smallholders wash, dry, and mill Arabica on shared patios. Kabesera takes named lots — washed Benguet and Sagada medium — and prints the farm on the espresso board. The living doors in Benguet are ACOGMAC in Atok, the Kibungan Arabica Coffee Growers MPC, TOCAGMA and BACOGA in La Trinidad, and the provincial Benguet Arabica Coffee Enterprise (BACE) trading floor in Wangal. Families keep the parchment price.

Farmer

Lipa Barako Growers

Lipa, Batangas

Third-generation Liberica growers on the Lipa slopes. We buy ripe cherry, not mixed bags, so the Pinoy latte and the long black still carry that wild Batangas finish.

Cooperative

Angono–Binangonan Harvest Cooperative

Angono & Binangonan, Rizal

A valley cooperative that supplies the House of Pokbod and the oven — kalamansi, river herbs, eggplant, eggs, and seasonal greens picked before dawn and plated by lunch.

Artisan

Higantes Craft Circle

Angono, Rizal

Festival makers who rest between Higantes — turning papier-mâché, paint, and reed into stay-room pieces and merch that still belong to Angono.
