At Jessie’s Sunshine Farm, bananas are more than just a crop—they’re a symbol of abundance and versatility. Grown in the fertile lands of Mindanao, our farm cultivates several beloved local varieties, including Saba, Lakatan, Latundan, and Morado. Each variety brings its own unique flavor, color, and purpose: Saba for cooking and animal feed, Lakatan for its rich sweetness and deep orange flesh, Latundan for its mild, apple-like taste, and Morado for its striking purple-red peel and antioxidant benefits.
Bananas thrive under the farm’s integrated agroforestry system, growing harmoniously beneath the coconut canopy where they benefit from natural shade and moisture retention. This layered approach not only maximizes productivity but also enriches the soil and promotes biodiversity.
