Sunny side up eggs and pork sisig this morning 🍳🔥

Breakfast at the farm always hits different. I’m usually up between 3am and 4am getting the fire started for cooking, boiling water for that fresh cup of morning life… I mean coffee 😂☕

Then it’s time to start the rice while sipping coffee and constantly battling the cook fire—trying to keep it hot enough, but not too hot. Farm cooking definitely keeps you on your toes.

By around 6am, breakfast is finally ready and it’s time to eat before getting to work for the day 🌿

Have a great day ahead everyone!

Picked up a French press today at Ororama in Carmen Market and decided to try some Gloria Arabica Coffee ☕🌿

Gloria Arabica is a farm-to-cup coffee brand based right here in Cagayan de Oro, with premium Arabica beans sourced from their own farm in Libona, Bukidnon 🇵🇭

Tried the dark roast and I have to say… absolutely amazing. Rich, smooth, and full of flavor. Safe to say life at the farm just got even better 😋
