Benguet Veggies. Planting since the 1900s.
To have a steady supply for their beloved salad, our American overlords encouraged the planting of vegetables and strawberries to the natives of Benguet. With the fertile soil and favorable climate, our native farmers became so good at it that eventually they were supplying up to 80% of the country's vegetable needs!
