Gourmet Farms Cavite: My Day Tour Experience

Gourmet Farms facade

It was a very sunny day when I, together with other bloggers visited Gourmet Farms in Cavite. A perfect day to roam around the place and discover new things and meet other people. I was really excited to visit the place since I am also into fitness and health. And this tour would really give me a lot of insights on healthy meals and organic farming which by the way, what I always wanted to have for my own and my familys’ consumption.

The organic farm is located in Km. 52 Aguinaldo HIghway, Silang, Cavite. If you have Waze installed in your phone you can easily find your way going there. It is just along the highway so you will not miss it.

Upon arrival, we were given this cold drink which is the Gourmet Farms cafe’s Signature Lemonade. This is sold for only Php85.  Believe me it taste REAAAAAALLY GOOOOOOD! I love how strong the flavor was and how it burst into my palate. It was so good that me and my fiance’ went back for it when we visited Tagaytay last week. THUMBS UP!

Back to our farm tour. Since it is an organic farm, they uses natural compost (leaves, barks of trees etc) and practice vermiculture to nourish the soil. The farm never uses chemical fertilizers to kill the insects and other pest luring to their crops.

The farm strive for environmental sustainability by implementing programs that respect nature,because they want to help preserve the environment for the future generations. The farm practices the “6 R’s”: Reduce. Reuse. Recycle. Rethink. Recover. Restore.
