About
Many customers ask us: “Why this name: LOLA’S GARDEN JAM?”
Daniel: “The answer is in the past: my French grandmother, like many grandmothers in France was a great cook and pastry cook and I remember the preparation of jam during the end of summer. I was around 8 years old and I still hear her explaining me the secret of a good jam made with fruits of the garden: love. The method is nothing if there is no love.”
Mechelle: “And grandmother is lola in Filipino language(s)!”
Daniel: “So I made jams for home during all my life but since 2011 Lola’s Garden Jam was officially registered and we started to produce at very small scale jams and sauces. Life was much easier at that time for home processing but we need now to follow more strict regulations which need times and money. Lola’s Garden Jam is now FDA registered (License To Operate, LTO-3000014719878) and we will get step by step the CPR (Certificate of Product Registration) for the totality of the products.”
A SHORT STORY
At the same time, we were teaching farmers around Bacolod to produce following the natural farming way and transform their production using simple food processing techniques. So their were able to make more money than selling their raw products to middlemen.
From mango tree to mango jam, these farmers could multiply a lot their income with their high quality production.
