Team Out of Town Blog Hub (Outoftownblog.com) – The Southern Tagalog Region is among the quick weekend getaways for Metro Manilans because of its proximity, good road network, and family-oriented destinations.

Popularly known as Calabarzon, the region south of the big city is composed of Cavite, Laguna, Batangas, Rizal, and Quezon, and is known for beaches, hot spring resorts, dive sites, quaint restaurants, Spanish-era churches, ancestral homes, and the iconic Taal Lake and Volcano.

But beyond these all-too-familiar attractions, the region is home to some of the most exciting farm tourism sites which blend the charm of agrarian lifestyle and a touch of basic modern comfort and recreational facilities for those offering overnight stays. And in this pandemic era, farms are safe alternatives to crowded tourist spots because of their vast open spaces, physical distancing, and healthy farm-to-table dining experience.

As part of its efforts to reboot tourism in the area, the Department of Tourism Calabarzon Regional Office recently rolled off its culinary caravan to showcase farm tourism sites in the five provinces which have been hiding from plain sight.

According to DOT-Calabarzon acting regional director Marites Castro, the caravan consists of food trip circuits that tour operators and travelers can customize to savor the rich culinary and cultural heritage of the various localities in Southern Tagalog.

She said that the DOT launched last December the Green Corridor Initiative circuits which have been validated to be compliant with the government’s health and safety protocols, and these include farm tourism sites.

She noted that Calabarzon currently has 26 accredited farm tourism establishments, many of which are also recognized by the Department of Agriculture’s Agricultural Training Institute (ATI) as farm schools for the community.

While the number is down from 33 before the onset of the Covid-19 pandemic, it is still among the highest number among the country’s regions. On top of this number, there are scores of farm-themed resorts and restaurants accredited by the government tourism agency.

Below are some of Calabarzon’s exciting farm tourism sites which are definitely worth the trip.
