Sustainable Shopping Directory



This was meant to be a comprehensive guide for where to buy biodynamic, organic, eco-friendly, handmade, healthy, raw, paleo (ancestral health), and sustainable food and goods in and around Metro Manila, Philippines. However, there are so many of these local businesses and events these days, I’m simply unable to keep up! :) So, this will just be a small list of my favourites. I'm constantly updating this guide and your feedback is welcome.

Looking for something in particular? Click here to ask me anything right now.
Or email me if you have a longer message: Feanne@SustainableManila.com

Does your business belong on this list? Email me and tell me about it. I provide this service for free to promote sustainable businesses and there is no need to give me anything in exchange for the listing. Keep up the good work, responsible entrepreneurs! :)

I last updated this guide October 6, 2016.

Holy Carabao (review)
Hindy Weber Tantoco and her family own and live on this biodynamic farm in Laguna. They provide healthy products such as  such as grass-fed meat, raw grass-fed dairy, gluten-free bread, coconut flour, and organic vegetables. They also provide specialty products such as artisanal cheese, lacto-fermented vegetables, herbal supplements, organic soap, and more. Fast, friendly, and reliable customer service.

Their products include delicious 72-hour broth, grass-fed bacon, raw grass-fed milk, raw grass-fed butter, coconut flour, fresh vegetables, and other healthy goods. They have a store at No. 7433 Ground Floor, Unit J, Yakal St., San Antonio Village Makati City (end of Mayapis St., near CASH & CARRY and next to Titania Wine Cellar & near SANTIS Delicacies), and a stall at the Saturday Salcedo Market.
