Guinahan I Lanchero, Farmer Feature Bunso Farms

Bunso Farms began in 2019 with a simple love for nature, a hobby that slowly blossomed into something more —rooted in curiosity, nurtured by learning, and fueled by a quiet but powerful desire to live more sustainably.

The turning point came through community: working at Guåhan Sustainable Culture’s community gardens, engaging with UOG Extension’s hands-on workshops, and completing Farm to Table Guam’s Farmer Training Program. These experiences didn’t just introduce new techniques—they opened doors, sparked ideas, and planted seeds of confidence. From these seeds, Bunso Farms began to take shape.

Today, Bunso Farms is a small-scale home garden focused on growing herbs and producing eggs, and gradually expanding to leafy greens, okra, and beans. It's not a massive operation—and that’s the point. The farm’s strength lies in its intention. By sharing fresh eggs, homegrown herbs, and surplus produce with friends and family, Bunso Farms is part of a quiet revolution.

Because imagine if more of us did this—if each home grew a food garden, grew just a little more than needed, and shared just a little extra. What would our island look like if we each contributed in our own small ways to food security? It doesn’t take a full day of labor. Sometimes, all it takes is a few minutes to water the garden, gather some eggs, and clip some herbs.

Bunso Farms reminds us that change doesn't have to be sweeping to be significant. In a world where it’s easy to feel overwhelmed by big problems, this small farm proves that consistent, mindful efforts—no matter how modest—can grow into something truly impactful. One egg, one bunch of basil, one shared harvest at a time.

Their advice? “Start with green onions.”
