Mark your calendars as we hold our last Farmers Market for this semester due to the shift in Digital Days ๐ฅฌ๐ฅฌ๐ฅฌ
Come visit us on Thursday, April 30, 2026, at the SOCSCI Foyer to meet our long-term farming community partner, MARIWSKA Integrated Farm Antipolo. Consecutively hosting various Ateneo partnerships in their farm center, such as SOCSC13, NSTP12, ECON159 Economics of Natural Resources and Environment, Ateneo High School and multiple international exchange students, MARIWSKA is considered as a second home by most of our students who are inclined in agriculture, healthy lifestyles and organic diet.
This is our first time to hold a Farmers Market with them. We are excited to give Ma'am Riza, Sir Michaell and their respective partner farmers an opportunity to sell their fruits, vegetables and value-added products. Each produce tells a story of sweat, effort and sacrifices. More than just purchasing from them, ask about why they are promoting organic agriculture.
Donโt miss this chance to support local farmers and bring home the freshest harvests. GCASH payments are accepted. All sales go directly to the farmers.

Blue Harvest: Farmers Market is an initiative that highlights the harvests of partner organic farming communities by bringing their fresh, seasonal produce directly to the Ateneo community. Held twice a semester, the event creates a space where farmers can sell their goods without relying on the usual chain of middlemen.
By connecting growers and consumers face-to-face, Blue Harvest promotes sustainable agriculture, supports local livelihoods, and ensures that farmers earn higher profits from their labor.
At the same time, the Ateneo community gains access to high-quality, organically grown produce while learning more about who the farmers are and the traditional practices behind their food.
In an effort to bridge cultural divides and cultivate unity, we have thoughtfully curated a series of three Agriculture Talks. These gatherings are designed to inspire meaningful dialogue, deepen mutual understanding, and foster a shared spirit of solidarity.
Each talk will explore pressing topics related to the state of agriculture in the Philippines, offering a platform for leading experts to share their insights and enrich our collective knowledge.
Through their expertise, we aim to illuminate the challenges and opportunities that shape our agricultural landscape.
Ultimately, the project strengthens community partnerships, encourages conscious consumption, and contributes to a more equitable farm-to-market system by deepening the communityโs relationship with the farmers.
