*
A macapuno is a coco
A coco more than a coco

A gift from Heaven
Not artificially grown

One or two in forty or so
That’s what I’ve been told

Its meat is soft and tender
Tender like a young coco

Since it never grows hard
I call it the Ever-young Coco

It’s certainly among my favourites
My forever young Macapuno

KABLON FARM FOODS

KABLON FARM FOODS, an organic farming & food processing community in Tupi, South Cotabato, Mindanao in the Philippines. The community is made up of 10 families and has a 70-hectare organic farm and a food processing centre. Their products range from pure cacao tablets to fruit juices, fruit preserves, and spices. Newest star products include coconut sugar and a whole range of jams and preserves processed with the low GI sugar.

KABLON products do more good than pleasing our palette and fortifying our health. In 2001, impressed by KABLON products introduced at a peace and development seminar, a commander of the Moro National Liberation Front decided to persuade MNLF members in his hometown to drop their guns and pick up their hoes again to dig and plant and produce items like KABLON to secure a sustainable wholesome future.

For its pioneering efforts and outstanding achievements, KABLON FARM FOODS has received numerous rewards. Recently, it has also been selected by APFTI (Advocate of Philippine Fair Trade Inc.) to participate in an EU programme to assist capable small Fair Trade producers to meet requirements of the European market.
