The flock

A mixed batch — native Filipino manok and heritage breeds, kept together for meat and eggs. No commercial broilers. These are birds that forage, scratch, and range freely across clean paddocks, returning to shelter at night.

Layers produce eggs daily — collected, cleaned, graded, and sold at the market or supplied to the café. Meat birds are grown out naturally to full flavour. Native whole manok is available at the Katayan — for bulk orders, book ahead.

Welfare first

Space to move. Clean water always. Feed supplemented with farm-grown corn, kitchen scraps, and forage. No overcrowding. No shortcuts on welfare. Animals raised well taste better and live better. Those two things are not separate.

Integration

Manok follow baka rotation — they break the parasite cycle, scratch up manure, and keep pastures clean. They are not just a poultry enterprise, they are part of the grazing management system.

A child's hands holding a warm egg from a hen they helped feed. That is the training centre in practice.

What's available

Eggs are available daily at the Merkado. Native whole manok and cuts are available at the Katayan. For bulk orders — whole birds for events, trays of eggs for bakeries or restaurants — book ahead through the hub so we can prepare your order.
