Gintong Bukid Farm & Leisure: A Hidden Gem of Nagcarlan
The last destination on our Organic Farm trip with the ATI Calabarzon that day was Gintong Bukid Farm & Leisure in Nagcarlan, Laguna. Our walk from the parking area to the farm piqued our curiosity. The previous organic farms that we visited have unique characteristics so we were thinking, “What would this organic farm be known for?” We came late in the afternoon on a gloomy day but we felt warm and welcomed as its staff came to us. The place itself was welcoming, too. It is peaceful and bursting in evergreen with a proud and surprisingly elegant bahay kubo standing in the middle. Indeed, a visit in the place…

The sky opened up and halted from a downpour. I admit, it’s been a while since the las time my sole felt the dampen earth. I oddly felt giggly at the thought that I am feeling the elements of the great outdoors once again. The drizzles would…

It was also some sort of team building and the venue was more than perfect for such an event. It was also the very first time I was introduced to ‘Glamping’ or glamorous camping. I was truly fascinated with how the tent was set up with mattresses, a small dining table for two or three persons and a small receiving area. We stayed in a pavilion type of convention area during our activities and we thought we had the whole place…
