You Pili Nut!

This is the Pili Nut Queen! She started a home-based enterprise where it's all about the Pili nut! It grows only in the Bicol region. We learned that many have tried to transplant, propagate, graft, etc. but elsewhere the tree does not bear fruit.
J. Emmanuel Pastries!
The family lives next to the store.
The operations take place up stairs.
A clean, bright, workplace ...
...where they bake,
wrap ...

... and package everything for the store ...
... and shipping.

I LOVE Pili nuts, and everything they make from them. I would describe the flavor as similar to a macademia but softer and more flavorful. Yum.

These are key chains, Lynne, our beloved Area 4 coordinator, bought us each one as a (cherished) souvenier.


Poor Toni, trooper that she is, was not feeling well at all this day -- can you tell?

But isn't this a cute picture of her?
