So many exciting things I’ve been working on behind the scenes—and here’s finally an events page to show just some of it! 🌾🌱 And believe it or not, there’s even more happening that didn’t make the calendar!

What a great way to start the fall—connecting food sovereignty, sustainable food practices, stronger food systems, and Native American-led community organizations that make a difference.

Hope to see some of you out there! 💚

Some days it’s 1 person, some days it feels like 2-1,000 positive vibes— and some days, no people at all. That’s small business life. ❤️

All I know is: you find what gives you comfort with food that has meaning. I’m here for your Native American pantry goods and to continue sharing foods, stories, and products with purpose.

📍 17136 Ardmore Ave., Bellflower, CA

Come by, say hello, and Love It Indigenously. 🌾🦬

It's true, people always ask me, but you're Filipino🇵🇭, why Indigenous food🪶? The answer is never simple (haha as the group Simple Minds), but I don't want people to forget me, I want a lasting impression that indigenous foods do exist because that is a mission that led me to support my love for cooking delicious meals.
