By the time her daughter was two, she was supplementing her diet with a daily mix of kale powder and water. After she gave birth to two more children, the mother-of-three switched up to fresh vegetable juices boosted with superfood powder containing spirulina, moringa and beet.
This continued for many years until 2016, when Lim chanced upon a magazine article stating that most produce is grown with a lot of pesticides.
“I was shocked and angry because at that time, I was doing my utmost to feed my kids vegetables, green juices and green smoothies. And all this while, I’d been feeding pesticides to my children,” she said.

“At that moment, I had an epiphany. What if I could grow the same clean food commercially not just for my children, but for other families,” said Lim, who was then head of social capital at her father’s infrastructure construction company.
