A Very Memorable Trip, The Organic Way At Bangkong Kahoy Valley

A Very Memorable Trip, The Organic Way At Bangkong Kahoy Valley

It was again another ORGANIC journey for me as  an OA Blogger (OA- Organic Agriculture) as I go to  Bangkong Kahoy Valley located at Kinabuhayan Dolores Quezon together with the rest of OA Bloggers and Agricultural Training Institute group.

This 21-hectare lot area in Quezon Province is owned by the late Agripino Lontoc, grandfather of Dionisio Pullan who is now the owner/caretaker of the place. Mr. Dionisio “Dion” Pullan is also the vice president of BK FOREST( Bangkong Kahoy Farmers’ Organization for Reforestation and EcoSystems Trust)that educate farmers on organic farming implementation, organic fertilizers and pesticides production, and helps farmers on how to generate income and establish a market for their produce.

BK Valley sits between the mountains of Mt. Cristobal and Mt. Banahaw.

After a very sumptuous lunch we are then led to our room  to settle for a while, freshen up and prepare for the afternoon activity. Our room was very nice. We have our own Flat screen TV, our own bathroom and our very own fireplace. See the electric fan? because of the cold weather there we never get to use it. The cold air is enough for us to have a very comfortable sleep/rest. There’s also a FREE Wifi Connection. Be reminded that it is hard to get signal to any networks there(Smart, Globe and Sun- I don’t know for other networks because most of us are users of these three main networks). you have to find a spot.

Our Room costs P6,000 per night, breakfast included.

We are then called for our afternoon activity. First we are gathered to this place to hear and learn about the background, history and what is Bangkong Kahoy Valley is all about.  Dionisio Pullan also talked about the importance of organic farming in the lives of the people residing in Bangkong Kahoy.

After that, we toured around the farm. Bangkong Kahoy Valley produces organic cabbages, lettuces and many more. Seeing Mt. Banahaw as background is very pleasing to the eye.
