Rise ArtisanalOwner and Founder
Oct. 2020Metro ManilaI own and operate Rise Artisanal, a home-based micro-bakery that produces nutritious sourdough bread. It was founded in October 2020 as a response to COVID-19, food insecurity due to supply chain gridlocks, and the climate crisis. Sourdough is simple, and our goal is to keep it that way. No artificial additives in our products. No meat products in our loaves. No single-use plastic in our packaging. This is our small way of trying to be the change we want to see in the world.
