When you're into business, it's like you're also putting your money in a gamble. The return of your investment could not be 100 percent sure, or even resulted into bankruptcy.

But this fate had not happened to the owner of the JSJ GOAT FARM, Jeffrey and Kathleen Lim when they put-up their hobby turn business. Out of 10 purebred goats in June 2001 they successfully breed 300 heads as of today and continuously expanding in their 10 hectares pasture in Barangay Caturay, Gerona, Tarlac.

To acquire more upgraded breed of goats, in March 2005 they imported hybrid goats from Australia. Some of the breeds that they have now are the Boer, Anglo Nubian, Saanen and British Alpines. Aside from goats they have also sheep like the Dorpers.

Out of the goats that they breed, they sell this for market consumption. Others are for the production of milk which the supply in the supermarket are not enough to cater the demand.

Because of excess production of milk, the owner then eventually started to think for a solution which can even generate another income for their pocket. Until, they come up in studying the process of cheese making. It took about a year the perfectness of Feta cheese production.

Feta (Greek: φέτα) is a brined curd cheese traditionally made in Greece. Feta is an aged crumbly cheese, commonly produced in blocks, and has a slightly grainy texture. It is used as a table cheese, as well as in salads (e.g. the Greek salad), pastries and in baking, notably in the popular phyllo-based dishes spanakopita ("spinach pie") and tyropita ("cheese pie") and combined with olive oil and vegetables. It can also be served cooked or grilled, as part of a sandwich or as a salty alternative to other cheeses in a variety of dishes.

Today, Aussie Feta Cheese is now available in market with an introductory price of P250. Aside from this they have also the kesong-puti a perfect combination of the hot pandesal for a typical Filipino breakfast.

• Coptic Journal/Sketchbook Description: 121 sketchpaper pages back-to-back; Binding – single-needle; Coptic stitch

• Handbound Leather Journal Description: 240 pages back-to-back, ivory-colored, acid-free paper; Binding: Long Stitch; Cover: genuine leather

“Alunsina Handbound Books are unique from other bookstores’ journals and sketchbooks. Books are carefully made and invested with our personal time and energy. In fact, each book takes four to eight hours a day to complete. All these on a price that is comparable and sometimes even cheaper than commercially sold journals typically manufactured in an assembly line.

Coptic-bound books are different from other handbound books because it showcases locally made (mostly Filipino and some Asian) and indigenous fabric. So far, it have been using batik, ‘Centennial’ fabric, and habi from Cotabato in Southern Philippines. They also have a limited collection of fabric from India and hand-woven fabric from Burma. They are also in the process of expanding by sourcing more local indigenous textile and those from neighboring countries. Watch out for new indigenous fabrics in their collection soon such as the Yakan hand-woven textile and T’nalak of the T’boli.

Alunsina Handbound Books are distinct because the products themselves are ‘works of art’ that do not only serve as testimony or medium to chronicle thoughts and experiences, but the journals themselves inspire its owners to pick them up and use them, write some random thought, compose poetry or practice calligraphy, or for the ‘artists’ in all of us to open up a sketchbook and draw.”

Yet from this modest start emerged one of the country’s largest export oriented enterprises, right at the onset of the New Millennium.
