The Farm’s ANH Virgin Coconut Oil is 100% natural, chemical-free oil that is from fresh mature coconuts. Our Oil extraction method uses no heat whatsoever resulting in a clear delicious oil that retains the distinct aroma and flavor of coconuts. The natural goodness inherent in the coconut oil is thus totally preserved.
Virgin Coconut Oil is the most versatile of all vegetable oils. It has been used in India as a key ingredient in Ayurvedic medicine for over four thousand years and is still a primary form of medical treatment for millions of people. In South America, virgin coconut oil is drunk by the glass as a means of overcoming illness and speeding up recovery.
It is used in hospitals around the world to treat digestive or malabsorption problems, and is commonly given to infants and children who have problems digesting other fats. For this same reason, coconut oil is a primary ingredient in infant milk formulas.
Scientific studies as far back as the 1950s already proved the health benefits of coconut oil. Up until the early 1980s coconut and other palm oil were widely used around the world in food preparation.
In the mid-1980s the American Soybean Association began capitalizing on the public’s fear of saturated fat and its perceived association with heart disease to carve out a niche for its soybean oil and kill the tropical oils. Even though the Surgeon General of the USA, Dr. C. Evekertt Koop, himself declared the tropical-oil scare “foolishness”’ the campaign was successful in destroying the reputation of coconut and palm oils.
Virgin Coconut Oil is the premier oil for cooking. It not only enhances the flavour of all types of cuisine, but also helps protect one’s body against heart disease, cancer, diabetes, and other degenerative illnesses. Other edible oils promise these qualities but only Virgin Coconut Oil actually delivers.
Virgin Coconut Oil is primarily composed of Lauric acid, with concentrations of up to fifty-three percent (53%). Interestingly enough, the only other substance in nature that has a comparably rich composition of Lauric acid is mother’s milk. Studies show that this high Lauric acid content is beneficial in warding off and destroying viruses, bacteria and other pathogens. It also actively builds the body’s immune system.
Simply take up to 3 1/2 tablespoons everyday to enjoy the full benefits of this wonderful oil.

Virgin Coconut Oil is rapidly metabolized by the body and, unlike most oils or fats, is directly converted to energy. This, in effect, aids in weight loss as it speeds up metabolism. In a sense, Virgin Coconut Oil can be considered a “low-fat” fat.
Applied topically, virgin coconut oil alleviates eczema and other mild skin ailments such as diaper rash. As massage oil, it is quickly absorbed by the skin and does not leave a sticky film behind. It has also been used traditionally to treat hair and scalp conditions.
When discussing the differences quality and cost-wise between coconut oils and olive oil, The Farm’s ANH Virgin Coconut Oil can only be compared to truly premium Extra Virgin Olive Oils.
Being a saturated oil, Virgin Coconut Oil is much more stable than olive oil under normal cooking temperatures and does not break down into free radicals as quickly as other oils.
Research shows that olive oils, like all mono and polyunsaturated fats, promote platelet stickiness. The stickier blood gets, the greater the risk of blood clots and cardiovascular problems. At the same time, unsaturated fats are known to suppress the immune system and even kill white blood cells.
The Farm’s ANH Virgin Coconut Oil is also naturally more resistant to rancidity and oxidation than other edible oils. With a laboratory tested free fatty acid (FFA) concentration of only 0.05% in the bottle, this oil does not need any preservatives to avoid rancidity.
The labor-intensive process of Absolutely No Heat (ANH) process means that we can only produce a few precious litres each day. Our VCO is non-hydrogenated, non-refined, non-bleached, non-deodorized. We do not use any chemicals, solvents, high heat or fermentation in extracting this 100% natural and 100% preservatives-and-cholesterol free oil.
In addition to our goal of providing a healthier and health-giving oil, The Farm also aims to help our local communities and environment. A portion of the proceeds of each bottle sold goes towards a fund to directly support the needs of the barangays where we extract this wonderful oil. Furthermore, The Farm uses recycle wine bottles by reducing the need for the energy-intensive production of glass bottles made from raw materials.
We hope that you and your family enjoy all the benefits of The Farm’s ANH Virgin Coconut Oil. Use it for your daily cooking and body care needs.
The Farm at San Benito ANH Virgin Coconut Oil solidifies at temperatures below 25oC. If this happens to your oil simply place the bottle in warm water until the oil is liquid again.
It is good practice to store your Virgin Coconut Oil, and any other vegetable oils you may use, away from sunlight and as cool as possible to further reduce the risk of rancidity.

I had done thorough research on The Farm, and actually kind of liked that it did not appear to be “over” travelled. I got the sense that this would not be touristy in feel, and was very pleased to confirm this.

A relaxing vacation indeed! At first I was hesitant to come with my officemate who invited me here, but I ended up asking for more services than what we originally wanted, and it was all worth it!Mr. J. — Quezon Province
