About us

Mission / Intention

A private food producing farm gains chutney, simmer sauce, salsa and fruit leather for selling. An Inn, hotel or BnB gains a menu featuring local foods. A wedding, anniversary or party gains a custom unique menu using local harvest. Growing food? Its perishable. turning it into products that have a longer shelf life gives more value and more retail options. Using local coconuts, Wendy has made wraps, cheese, pasta and cookies, just as an example.
