AtoANI is a social enterprise based in Bohol that produces and distributes organically farmed fresh produce and processed food products such as chili flakes, moringa coffee and dried herbs. Currently, it offers free delivery of these products (fresh produce – fruits & vegetables, processed food products) straight from their farm and partner farmers in Bohol to its customer locations in Bohol and Cebu.
The main organic farm is located in Sitio Sudlon, Brgy. Cambuhat, Buenavista, Bohol which is near Bohol’s famous Cambuhat Oyster Farm with a regular Cambuhat River Village Tour (CRVT) handled by the Cambuhat Enterprise Development Fisheries Association (CEDFA).
It is a personal advocacy of the AtoANI Team to have more people become involved in organic farming. Since the start of its operations, it currently has 7 employees (2 part-time and 5 full-time). They are strategically organized in three (3) functional areas with the right expertise to back their functions. Under Farm Operations, they currently have three operations staff or farmer for daily operations of which two (2) are Cambuhat Enterprise Development Fisheries Association (CEDFA) members. They also hire occasional contract employees for specific farm-related operations such as land cultivation and clearing.
