ABOUT US

Goshen Market is the social enterprise initiative of Just Projects Philippines.

We engage with businesses to supply whole and/or minimally processed agricultural food products from our communities and other trusted partners in Mindanao; they apply natural farming methods, using open-pollinated variety (OPV) seeds, organic pesticides and fertilizers as much as possible.

We seek to provide wholesome foods that don’t use industrial chemicals, synthetic alternatives, preservatives or additives; we currently have a limited but slowly growing selection of products to ensure that the quality remains consistent with our standards of excellence.

We value safety and transparency with how our food is produced and, as such, work only with a shortlist of trusted small & mid-sized partners, some of whom are faith-based groups and local tribes, including lumads. 

We share the same values as integrity, quality and sustainability as it relates to fair trading practices and righteous stewardship of the land and other natural resources. As such, we prefer to engage with institutional buyers interested in developing and establishing long-term, thriving relationships based on trust, not just transactions.
