Part I: This Hidden Farm in Tagaytay Offers At least 4 Attractions in One
Part II: We Asked Ilog Maria Bee Farm: Is it Possible to Produce Honey Even Without Bees?
In search for fresh and new destinations on this city on a hill, I once again followed my adventurous feet to discover organic farms in Tagaytay that are within the vicinity. But unlike our great adventure with the team in Capiz where in we have to rely on our people skills and trail-blaze The Secret Beauty of Roxas City that Never Reached Your Social Media Feeds, my farm trips in Tagaytay were made possible through Google Maps and several online articles.
Dressed with a white shirt and coated slim fit jeans which I ordered from Zalora, (by the way Zalora’s got a wide variety of jeans for men online, which are sure to complement your farm trips) I embarked on an early trip going south and here are the best secret farms around Tagaytay City:
