While Antonio manages the farm in Tanay, Rizal and oversees the production of their food products, Jacqueline takes charge of the marketing and promotion. Antonio is aware that produce raised by natural and sustainable farming methods yields harvest that is healthy, nourishing, and flavorful for all.

The food company supplies their product line to hotels and restaurants in Manila. "Rizal Dairy Farms has a recipe that would suit everybody’s cravings – from full fat, low fat, and non-fat," said Jacqueline. She has authored several recipes and menu plans for organic South Beach Diet, using locally available ingredients to serve the health conscious Filipinos.

This prompted her to initiate the organic movement in the Philippines. "Consumers from urban and rural areas prefer organic foods, however, it is not highly accessible and not readily available compared with mass-produced foods," said Jacqueline

"We are using fresh cow’s milk from Tanay, Rizal and sometimes from Laguna, dairy cultures (probiotics) are from Switzerland, and the vegetables from Tanauan, Batangas and Tagaytay in Cavite. The organic vegetables we use in our gourmet recipes are certified organic," added Jacqueline.

Rizal Dairy Farms became the founding member of the Organic Certification Center of the Philippines (OCCP) and Organic Producers Trade Association in the Philippines (OPTA). The company also formed the Organic Farming Production, Training, and Consultancy, Inc., which offers training and consultancy services for farm owners who want to adopt organic practices in their farming venture. This initiative led to the propagation of the economic and environmental benefits of organic farming among the farm owners in the country.

With Jacqueline’s enthusiasm on combining business with advocacy, the Philippines was included in the global map of organic agriculture. She serves as a world board member for the International Federation of Organic Agriculture Movement (IFOAM), the umbrella organization of organic agriculture with head quarters in Bonn, Germany.

Rizal Dairy Farms will soon launch its Sweet Rush lemongrass tea, a new healthy thirst quencher. Lemongrass (Cymboporon citrates) is a perennial herb usually found in the tropics that produces a fragrant odor, while its leaves produce a citrus taste and the roots with ginger-like flavor. Used to flavor wines, sauces, and spices, lemongrass is also known to be an effective relief for stomach discomfort. "This healthy drink is also a natural detoxifier that can be enjoyed hot or cold," said Jacqueline.

To further promote the benefits and pleasures of eating organic foods, Rizal Dairy Farms will join BIO-Search that will be held from October 16-19 at the SMX Convention Center. BIO-Search is the health and wellness segment of the Manila F.A.M.E. International, the show for the Philippines’ design-driven sector, led by the Department of Trade and Industry’s Center for International Trade Expositions and Missions.
