FARM ACTIVITY Visitors enjoy picking vegetables
Farm tourism destinations have opened up across the country, drawing local and foreign tourists. These range from a 20-square-meter mushroom production venture to vegetable farms, including orchards and vineyards that allow visitors to pick fresh fruits for a fee.
Tourism Secretary Bernadette Romulo-Puyat has advocated farm tourism as a flagship project.
In 2017, Sen. Cynthia Villar, chair of the Senate agriculture and food committee, led the launching of the farm tourism initiative. Since then, she has been encouraging farmers to learn to develop agribusinesses by converting their farms into tourism destinations with restaurants and homestay facilities, or as agriculture training centers.
Gerry Beltran, a member of Baguio Association of Hotels and Inns (Bahai), says helping Farmers Basket and her family promote their farm also benefits their hotel.
“We cannot survive without our suppliers so we at Bahai decided to work together and help each other,” says Beltran, who also manages the Albergo Hotel.
