Bolo Village in Ujungpangkah District, Gresik Regency, East Java Province is well-known as a producer of good quality limes. Lime farming in the area has been proven to increase the income of farmers and the surrounding community. This potential requires more support to be used as a superior village product with added value for increasing farmers' income and community welfare. Community service activities were conducted at the location through training methods, especially community participatory, with the hope that the participants could implement the results of the training. The activities were carried out three times based on the products made from lime. The first training was the manufacture of hand sanitizer products, followed by training on making aromatherapy candles and instant powder drinks on another predetermined day. The participating communities had the opportunity to take home the products from the training as souvenirs as well as a reminder for them to apply the training activities by producing the three products. The Bolo Village community service activity in the future is faced with product development and quality, as well as assistance on the legality of community businesses.
