One of the brands featured at the event is Gourmet Farms, known for its unique selection of food offerings. Among the crowd favorites are their signature pesto chips — crispy basil leaves turned into tasty snacks — and their lettuce chips, available in five flavors: original, chili barbecue, sweet corn, ranch cheddar, and sour cream and onion. The brand also offers gourmet tuyo and a range of coffee blends sourced from various regions across the Philippines.
Jam Evaristo-Asuncion, marketing manager of Gourmet Farms, told DAILY TRIBUNE they are proud to create snacks that serve as a great alternative to potato chips while remaining tasty and enjoyable for both adults and children.
“Since Gourmet Farms is known to use all farm-fresh ingredients and we started with our core product, which is coffee, we are now venturing into lettuce chips. Lettuce is, I may say, our second core product on the farm. From that, we were able to create something snackable and healthy — that’s why we made this. That’s the inspiration. We were able to create a healthy snack, even for kids,” she said.
She added that new products are in development but remain a secret for now. She described the upcoming item as “unexpected” from a brand sourced directly from farm goods.
