From threading buttons to weaving quilts

F.A.R.M. is a trademark that recycles and glorifies the vintage. It's the principle that we live up to.

Following the tremendous success of the F.A.R.M. bracelets, F.A.R.M. endeavors for more creative and ingenious merchandise that could utilize the skills of rural women in Baao.

Today, F.A.R.M. engaged the women of Barangay Pugay, Baao on a test project called, "Sew Easy - Decorative Stitches."

The women, who are members of the Department of Agriculture-initiated Rural Improvement Club (RIC), were trained to sew F.A.R.M. cushion covers or yoyo quilts out of recycled fabric.

The activity aims to promote rural livelihood among women. The participants will be paid for sewing the quilts. And the absolutely-fabulous products will be launched at the opening of the Button Hole on August 22!

Just like the F.A.R.M. bracelets, part of the proceeds of the F.A.R.M. cushion covers will go to Buttons to Hope.

There's just no stopping F.A.R.M! We hope you will continue to support F.A.R.M. , its products, its workers, and its future scholars!
