rural defined

how big is too big? 

my living room at La Huerta

using my rural town Baao, as a guide, 

i came up with a standard for defining rural that incorporates something familiar to almost everyone—stoplights! 

any locale that has no stoplight belongs to my rural sense.

as i add more artisans to my F.A.R.M. trademark, i  make sure F.A.R.M. products have with them the following character:

- artists and artisans live and create products in Baao, or a neighbouring small town or community with no stoplight.

my pets: Chico, Cheeky, Choco

- products are made with care and with the knowledge that we have made them as safe, pure, and with the highest standards as possible. we follow safe manufacturing principles of cleanliness and sanitation to ensure the safety of our end products.   

- we have pride in that, the quality of our workmanship will bring pleasure to those who purchase and use them. in short, we make with love.

- F.A.R.M. as a trademark has been approved and certified by the Intellectual Property Office of the Department of Trade and Industry. 

- we  have a business license, enabling us to do business in a legal manner and report and pay our taxes appropriately.

Rosario's path is named after my mother - the gardener of my dreams

i believe that satisfying work makes a light heart, and that the products made with pleasure can pass along that happy vibration to those who purchase them, which in turn, supports those who make them.

to be able to live in a small town and make a living,  
has been a challenge for me and for many in the past. 
i hope to change things for the better with the F.A.R.M. idea, and  i invite you to join in this new adventure.
