GERONA, TARLAC— What started as a goat breeding business led Jeffry Lim to discover the lucrative potential of food products made of goat’s milk.
His herd of goats are imported straight Australia and bred locally at the JSJ Goat Farm in Tarlac.
“We initially planned to sell just goats milk. But eventually, we had a lot excess [milk] so we thought about studying how to make cheese,” Jeffry shares.
A year after studying and perfecting the process, this family business was able to come up with an affordable version of feta cheese.
Feta is a traditional Greek curd cheese brined in olive oil and is best served to top off salads, pastries or grilled sandwiches. Since they weren’t sure it will hit off, Jeffry initially sold only a few jars.
“It was when more costumers started buying in bulk that we saw the demand. They say it’s because we offer feta cheese that don’t cost too much for the pocket, plus its quality and locally produced,” he adds.
Jeffry also sells native kesong puti, pastillas and atchara (pickled unripe papaya) made from the vegetable produce of their farm.
A jar of Aussie’s feta cheese is priced at P250, while the kesong puti is P130. These can be bought at the Philippine’s Finest stall in Market! Market!
