The circular flow

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.

Programs

Named origins

Direct Trade Lot

We buy the lot from the grower. Price, variety, and farm stay on the cup — no middlemen on the East Ridge menu.
