Events Gather

Backyard Farms

There has been this movement for some time now. 

In a series of intimate "Homestead Gatherings," Chef Rox Lee prepares fresh yet rustic meals featuring the star of the show, Backyard Farms Chicken.

In a series of intimate “Homestead Gatherings,” Chef Rox Lee will prepare fresh meals featuring the star of the show, Backyard Farms Chicken.

It’s all about being healthier, greener, and more aware of not only what we put out there in the universe and for Mother Earth, but it’s also about what we put into our bodies. 

Simple ingredients can make for cleaner eating. Sometimes, all you need is a little salt and pepper to bring out the flavors of the freshest produce.

Simple ingredients can make for cleaner eating. Sometimes, all you need is a little salt and pepper to bring out the flavors of the freshest produce.

And this is where it is important to remember the saying, “You are what you eat.”

I know, I know, we have all heard this before.

But to be honest, I don’t really know if I can trust all the labels here when they say “organic” because there is not much of a governing body to monitor exactly what “organic” is. We have to be careful of all of the local products we consume because we aren’t just making decisions for ourselves anymore if we have kids. We are actually making decisions daily, that can affect our children’s children as well.

Putting a different mix of locally sourced key ingredients in my family's meals allows me to make healthier choices.

Disclaimer:  I don’t buy everything organic. I buy what I feel is healthier for my family given the choices readily available to me with my budget constraints taken into consideration. BUT, I buy organic when I can and when it’s available locally, in my area.

When I go grocery shopping (in three different supermarkets and specialty stores near my house) I make decisions considering a few factors.

  • I want to know that it’s good for my kids. It’s got to be healthy.
  • Nobody suffered in the process of making it for us.
  • It’s even easier for me to purchase a product if it is local, handmade, has cute packaging, and is socially responsible. 

I liken this whole decision making process to loving local in the same way that I love going to Saturday Markets. While I enjoy eating imported cheeses and other products that I cannot source locally, I also appreciate the ability to buy local ingredients from local farmers knowing that I’m doing my small part to reduce my carbon foot print, and support local industry as well. 

I don't know much about farming, but from the interaction I have had with some of my friends, we all agree, it's important to "Know Your Farmer."

I don’t know much about farming, but from the interaction I have had with some of my friends, we all agree, it’s important to “Know Your Farmer.”

Backyard Farms provides a healthier choice of chicken for families here in Manila. Without getting too technical, I will try and explain how Tisha shared why Backyard Farms would be a healthier alternative to the other chickens that are out there.

A Backyard Farms Chicken is

  • pasture raised
  • horomone free
  • antibiotic free
  • eats all natural feeds 

What does this mean? It means that your chickens run free and don’t live in cages or huge cement pens. It means that their ground feeds are natural and do not contain antibiotics or growth horomones. And it means that instead of being force fed to live a maximum of 21 days before going to slaughter and ending up in your grocery store, they live an average of 60-90 days before being slaughtered, blast frozen, vacuum sealed, and distributed to chosen locations around the country.

Now, even if I don’t buy organic all the time for my family, I can appreciate the energy that goes into raising chickens in a more natural way. It just makes sense. It feels like a simpler decision that works for a family who is more aware of what we consume. 

Backyard Farms is another addition to the many choices of LOCAL farmers that we have, who are making more responsible choices in producing our food. Together, with some of the other tried and true brands that I follow and purchase, this allows me to continue to make healthy dishes for my family.

Backyard Farms has individual distributors in General Santos City, Alabang, Antipolo, Cebu, and Davao. To order your own pasture raised chicken call or text 0917-673-7796

    I am the same as you…I try to buy organic, local, all-natural as much as I can considering my budget and my sanity 🙂 I won’t lie, there are imported items that I love and continue to buy but I also love to support local farmers so it’s great to hear about these guys! Will definitely check them out!

I have always been intimidated by Cornish Hens. Th I have always been intimidated by Cornish Hens. Through this learning exercise with @usapeecphl, I have learned a bit more about these little birds that have bigger breast parts, and thank you Chef @ivoryyat for showing me how easy it is to prepare Greek Lemon Roasted Cornish Hens with Roasted Potatoes.
 
Clean and fresh flavors are perfect for these smaller birds that are rich in protein with zero carbs. Try the recipe in the comments section. I’m sure you’d enjoy it as much as I did!
 
Interested in U.S. Cornish Hens? You can buy them in stores near you. #CornishHen #USCornishHen #PoultryPerfection #CookingWithUSPoultry #USPoultry #USAPEECPHL #ad
@gi.aventajado and I played with some of the @pura @gi.aventajado and I played with some of the @puratosph products that they sent over the other day. Ready to use Bavarian Cream made these Cream Puffs easier than ever. I think we have to figure out how to temper our couverture better…

@mommymundo always has a way of bringing together @mommymundo always has a way of bringing together just what we need, no matter the time of year. Loving these photos of my first boy that were snapped @expomom.

Anyone else thinking about #HolidayPhotos? I am not one of those moms that has it all together before Christmas. It’s usually a mad dash for us at the end of the year, but if it’s anything that the past few years has taught me, it’s that the little things are what makes the Christmas special.

Many of us haven’t been together with the extended family or even our immediate family in so long. That means it’s the perfect time to document.

@nextbymetrophoto will be hosting one last Christmas Marathon family photo shoot before the end of year. Check them out or shoot them a message. They have some cute set-ups.
****GIVEAWAY ALERT*** 10 things I LOVE about @sed ****GIVEAWAY ALERT***

10 things I LOVE about @sedahotels listed here and on FB!

1. Each property has a Signature Dish. If you can’t make it to Bacolod, you can still enjoy Chicken Inasal in any of their properties.

2. Clean Design. So easy to work and play in a space that is light, modern, and clean in design. 

3. Beautiful views. Every chance I got, I would sit outside at @straightupatseda. 

4. Spacious Rooms and Residence Stays. Staying in the Three Bedroom Premier was perfect for our family. 

5. Attentive Service. Everyone was pleasant and accommodating.

6. Centrally Located. If you are thinking of fun things to do in Makati and want a home base, Seda Residences Makati is near a few of the museums, parks, and malls.

7. Work with ease. Internet service is uninterrupted. Meeting rooms are available and easy to book.

8. Relax and Play. From mid-day tubbies with Gelli to, taking advantage of the pool, or the children’s room, the little girl had more than enough things to keep her busy!

9. #FamilyTime. Spending an extended amount of time outside our own space led to laughter, fun conversations, and opportunities to try new things. We were comfortable and rested in the space we were in, which meant more opportunities for us to connect.

10. Homegrown with a Purpose. A Filipino brand that understands the importance of both work and travel, each property is important to the city & province location. Environmentally aware by adopting Mayumi, a Philippine Bald Eagle. 🦅

Is there anything better than a stuffed turkey at Is there anything better than a stuffed turkey at this time of year? Whole turkeys require serious commitment to cook. #IYKYK But because U.S. Poultry is now available here in the Philippines, that also means preparing turkey is a tad bit easier.
 
Frozen U.S. turkey products are available and ready to cook for people who want to dabble with flavors for this bigger bird but aren't sure how.
 
Thank you to Chef @ivoryyat for putting together a medley of my favorite fall flavors. This combination of apples, sweet potatoes, and maple syrup perfectly compliment  the roasted turkey leg and remind me of flavors and scenes from back in New York. 
 
@usapeecphl l has the highest standards that follow USDA requirements which are certified safe before shipping to the Philippines. Get them in stores near you.
