A Sweet and Savory Start to Our Farmers’ Market Series: Exploring Baguio with Rusty and Scarlett!


Welcome to the very first post in our Farmers’ Market series, a delightful set of books and activities that will take your children on exciting journeys across colorful markets, both in the Philippines and beyond! 🧺

We’re starting off strong with a place close to my heart — the Baguio Market — guided by two of my favorite fruit-and-veggie explorers: Rusty the Carrot and Scarlett the Strawberry. 🍓🥕

This picture-based book is part story and part adventure guide — designed to make kids curious about where their food comes from and appreciate the culture behind it.


🍄 What’s Inside the Book?

In Rusty and Scarlett’s Baguio Market Adventure, children will:

✅ Explore fresh vegetables and fruits unique to Baguio
✅ Learn about heirloom Cordillera rice and what makes them special
✅ Discover sweet treats like ube halaya and sundot kulangot
✅ Get to know local crafts like walis tambo, wooden spoons, and more
✅ Understand Filipino market culture through the eyes of a curious carrot and strawberry!

The best part? The book gently weaves Teacher E’s tips (that's me!), real local trivia, and reflection questions throughout the story.

❤️ Final Note from Teacher E

Markets are more than just a place to buy food.
They are living classrooms filled with history, hospitality, and the heartbeat of a culture.

I hope Rusty and Scarlett help your learners discover the joy of exploration, storytelling, and gratitude — one fruit stand at a time.
