Evitta and Thrina originally started an online shop selling strawberries at PHP 100 per jar from Baguio, which they still offer, as a way of helping Cordillera farmers earn during the pandemic. In a text interview, the owners shared, “We first started to import strawberries and other strawberry products during the pandemic. We order directly from the farmers and we pick them up from them the next day in La Trinidad.”
