Tucked in the foothills of Mt. Banahaw in Majayjay, Laguna is Costales Nature Farms, a premiere agri-tourism destination in the country that supplies organic vegetables and herbs to leading local restaurants, supermarkets, and food brands.

Aside from offering tour packages and workshops to visitors who want a first-hand experience at organic farming, they also maintain a restaurant called Apong Damian ‘s Organic Restaurant, a bright and breezy space decked with native accents, where a variety of Filipino favorites with ingredients sourced directly from their farms are served.

A definite must-visit in the outskirts of Tagaytay City, Sonya’s Garden isn’t just a top destination for picture perfect moments in the lush embrace of greenery and blooms, but also one of the first garden-restaurant concepts that became a household name among Filipinos.

Sonya’s Garden has three greenhouse restaurants that serve organic fare: The Conservatory, where the garden takes about half of the space; Morning Glory, where vines creep along pillars and beams just like in the Frances Hodgson-Burnett classic The Secret Garden; and Sunflower, where bursts of the restaurant’s namesake flower peek through thick ferns.

Treat your belly and soul to their delectable buffet of fresh pastas and salads with floral touches. Before heading home, don’t forget to drop by the Panaderia, where you can pick up freshly-baked bread. Sonya’s Spanish Bread and Pandesal are known to make visitors come back for more.

Farm-to-table isn’t always about the greens.

A pioneer in producing certified organic grass-fed beef in the Philippines, The Farm Organics takes pride in their high-quality meats that end up on their diners’ plates as mouth-watering burgers and steaks. From their 1000-hectare farm in Masbate to their restaurants in Metro Manila and Sta. Rosa, Laguna, The Farm Organics’ cattle are treated humanely and ethically, resulting in premium products that are free of chemicals and pathogens.

A visit at The Farm Organics won’t be complete without taking on The Farm Burger built with 200 grams of organic beef patty, crisp lettuce, cheese, tomatoes, onions, egg, pickles, and bacon. Yum!
