More, More Moringa Harvest



Mixing the moringa leaves while they are air dried is important so the leaves will dry easily.
It's finally rainy season! Rainy season for us means more moringa leaf harvest. More leaf harvest means more moringa dried leaves and powder that we can process further into various products.

Harvest day. This is just one of those days when we harvest moringa leaves....
This is Jemboy busy getting leaves that will be further sorted by our leaf sorters in the processing facility.
Moringa leaves still attached to the stems. They will be placed in the plastic crates afterwards.

Serious at work. Look at how fresh those moringa leaves are!

Moringa leaves are mechanically dried using a dehydrator after air drying them.

Moringa Harvest Day

It's moringa harvest day! We have been finding ways to combat the dry spell here in Palawan for the past months, and today, we are finally able to harvest some leaves for drying.

We use organic and natural fertilizers and pesticides on our trees and plants in the farm, so our moringa trees produce leaves in smaller amounts, BUT in the long term, we are contributing to the protection of the environment. :)

We don't let our trees grow higher than 3 meters, so that it is easy for us to reach the stems for harvesting.
