How to spot good figs vs bad figs?So you’re buying figs to impress your dinner guests. You want good figs, but don’t want to spend so much. We get it.But how do you know if you’re getting your money’s worth?Good, fully ripe figs should be plump, slightly soft, juicy, fragrant, flavorful. Interior jammy and sweet, complex flavor profile. Color should be fully developed. You can almost taste the sunshine in every bite.Not green, hard, tasteless. We call those cardboard figs. Garbage.Cardboard figs are harvested unripe to allow long-distance shipping (thus lower price). However, unlike banana or papaya, figs don’t continue ripening once harvested. So you end up eating unripe figs.If price is your primary concern, don’t use figs. Serving bad figs only make people have bad impression about this magical fruit.As we always says… If you’re going to eat figs, eat good figs. Don’t settle for mediocre ones.Want locally-grown, fully ripe figs? Send us a message to reserve now.

Do you know where your eggs come from?Most eggs in local market, supermarket, even high-end 'niche' market come from the hens on the left side.What's wrong with them?The hens are crammed into tight cages, never see sunlight, never breathe fresh air, never touch natural soil or grass, constantly stressed. They are fed synthetic feed, hormones, and antibiotics because they are constantly sick. They're culled after 1.5 years when egg production declines. Cruel, but efficient.This practice is called battery cage. Industry standard. 90% of eggs are produced this way, globally. For factory farm, hens are just a disposable part of a machine that turns grains into eggs.Why big farms do it? Simple answer is money. Battery cage allows housing of thousands of birds in a small space. They don't move around, so less energy wasted. Management is easier and labor cost cheaper. The results: higher profit.For them, money is first priority. Animal welfare and consumer health? Maybe last.The resulting eggs are often bland, and contain stress hormones and chemicals that may trigger allergy. We know some people who experience this first hand. If you're allergic to eggs, you may actually be reacting to something foreign in the eggs, but not the eggs themselves.Now, the important part. Our hens, on the right side, are completely the opposite.They live in spacious coop, with access to outdoor to run, scratch the soil, stretch their wings, sun bath, and dust bath (which is how they keep themselves clean). Our birds eat a variety of diet including fish, fresh grains, fruits, veggies and herbs from the garden and even insects that they forage.To be honest, they eat better salad than most of our average lunch.We call them "happy chicken," but there are other terms like cage-free or free-range. We can get to that later if you want to get semantic.We even provide enrichment toys, adjust wind flow and lighting to minimize stress, and play music for them. This seems a bit over the top, but we emphasize animal welfare and treat them as valuable members of the farm.We believe that good eggs come from healthy, happy hens.The results: better quality eggs that are better for you. Tasty, nutrient dense, thick white, golden yolk. No antibiotics, no stress hormone. Simply good eggs.Why we even bother raising chicken this way? Because we care, and no one else raise them this way (that we know of)... So we took the matter into our own hands.At 9 THB/egg, it may seem high. But if you consider what goes into producing free-range, humanely and sustainably raised eggs, from the cost of housing, hens, feed, equipment, time, labor, and the special extra care, 9 THB is a steal. For most of us, the cost of healthy eggs is certainly cheaper than hospital bills.Last but not least, because we're local, our eggs typically get from our coop to your kitchen within 2-3 DAYS, at most. Compare this to 'normal' eggs that spend 1-2 WEEKS traveling through the supply chain before reaching the supermarket, and eventually to you.Still think our eggs are expensive?
