Bohol Bee Farm: Organic Farm Paradise

The latest addition to Bohol's diverse attractions is the Bohol Bee Farm. It has deservely become one of Bohol's most popular destinations. Good thing I went there around 9am so I was able to explore the place with some peace and quiet. By the time I left at around 11:30 am the place was already filled a large number of tourists.

Bohol Bee Farm is an organic farm that operates as a resort and restaurant similar to the concept of Sonia's Garden in Tagaytay. The restaurant offers delicious buffet meals at a very reasonable P500 (US $12). Salads on the buffet have organic vegetables freshly harvested from the resort's farm. The buffet also includes servings of home made ice cream that comes in different flavors (i.e. mango, ginger, chocolate, pandan, etc). My personal favorite was the ginger ice cream. They also sell the ice cream at their shop at P50 (US$1) for 2 scoops.

Accommodations in the resort are also good value with prices ranging from P2,000(US$46) to P5,000 (US$116) per night. It also has a shop where the farm's produce are sold. Good buys are squash muffins, honey, home baked bread, and the unique Cab cab (made from cassava) which is a healthy alternative to potato chips and comes with a coconut jam dip.

The resort offers a guided tour of the place for only P20 (US$.46) per person. So when in Bohol, the Bee Farm is definitely a "MUST" place to visit.
