Lionheart Farms

What Lionheart Farms does

Lionheart Farms (Philippines) Corporation is a regenerative organic coconut agriculture company founded in 2015 and headquartered in Rizal, Palawan. The company operates on 3,500 hectares of regenerative farmland working with 5,000+ farming families and Indigenous Peoples communities, producing a range of coconut flower sap-derived food ingredients including coconut syrup, aminos, vinegar, teriyaki, and beverages. Its core technology rests on biodynamic farming practices, traditional 'karet' knife sap tapping methods, a zero-waste circular production system, and a full plot-to-pallet traceability architecture, supported by a globally certified stack (BRCGS Grade AA, USDA, EU, Canadian, and JAS Organic, Kosher, Halal, SMETA, FDA).

The business operates a hybrid B2B and DTC model. The B2B arm (Lionheart Farms) sells bulk coconut flower sap ingredients to food manufacturers, beverage producers, and health product developers, offers private labeling services (claimed to reduce customer time-to-market by up to 70%), and runs collaborative product development partnerships. The retail arm includes the CÓCOES brand (organic coconut flower condiments and sweeteners) and The Power of SLOW (coconut flower nectar beverages), sold through specialty retailers (Healthy Options, Real Food), the company's own e-commerce platforms (cocoes.com, drinkpowerofslow.com), and Amazon. Regional sales offices in Hong Kong, Pittsburgh, and Baar (Switzerland) serve Asia-Pacific, North America, and Europe respectively, with the company supporting a global footprint across the US, Europe, Asia-Pacific, Greater China, and the Middle East.

The company is privately held, co-founded by Christian Eyde Moeller (CEO & Chairman) and Anders Haagen, and operates as an independent corporation with no disclosed external venture capital or private equity backing. Lionheart employs nearly 2,000 people, making it one of the largest employers in the Palawan region, and has received multiple regional and global awards including the ASEAN Business Award 2024, Asia CEO Awards 2022 Sustainability Company of the Year, SIAL Paris recognition, and multiple Katha Awards. Its CSR arm, Gabay Kalinga Foundation, focuses on education, livelihood, and community development for its farming communities.

Expansion highlights7 records

Broad incumbents

• Vita Coco: Global leader in branded coconut water with multinational distribution and retail presence. While Lionheart is a smaller vertically integrated operator, both companies compete in coconut-based beverages and rely on coconut sourcing from Southeast Asia to serve global markets.
• Califia Farms: Plant-based beverage brand offering oat, almond, and coconut-based drinks. Comparable in developing premium, sustainably positioned plant-based beverages for mainstream retail and foodservice channels.
• So Delicious (Dairy Free): Established plant-based beverage company (owned by Danone) producing dairy-free drinks including coconut-based beverages. Comparable plant-based beverage category with similar retail distribution and consumer base as Lionheart's Power of SLOW brand.

Emerging players

• Navitas Organics: Organic superfoods brand offering coconut sugar, coconut palm sugar, and other natural sweeteners. Comparable in specializing in organic, regenerative ingredients with premium positioning in natural and wellness retailers across the US.
• Amy & Brian Naturals: Direct-to-consumer coconut water brand with focus on young green Thai coconuts. Comparable in premium, single-origin coconut beverage positioning and direct-to-consumer e-commerce-first distribution.

Direct peers

• Nutiva: Organic, non-GMO superfood brand offering coconut-based products including coconut sugar, MCT oil, and culinary staples. Comparable in combining regenerative agriculture sourcing, B2B and B2C channels, and premium wellness positioning targeting health-conscious consumers.
• Big Tree Farms: Indonesian coconut sugar and ingredient producer and parent of Coconut Secret. Operates a vertically integrated coconut nectar sourcing network with regenerative organic farming similar to Lionheart's Palawan operation, supplying bulk ingredients and retail brands internationally.
• Harmless Harvest: Premium coconut water brand with strong sustainability credentials and organic certifications. Comparable in vertical coconut supply chain, BRCGS and organic certifications, and emphasis on storytelling around ethical sourcing and farmer welfare.
• Coconut Secret (Big Tree Farms): Closest direct competitor in coconut flower sap-based sweeteners, aminos, and condiments. Both companies harvest coconut nectar from traditional palm trees in Southeast Asia and sell organic, low-glycemic sweeteners to North American and global health/wellness consumers and B2B customers.

Others
