There’s a side of Guimaras that many don’t get to see—the kind tucked behind mango trees, lined with footpaths instead of beaches, and bursting with stories rooted in soil.
If you’re the kind of traveler who enjoys slowing down, digging deep, and finding joy in the simple and authentic—then a Guimaras Farm Tour is worth waking up early for.
🌱 Why Farm Tourism is Flourishing in Guimaras
While Guimaras is known for its mangoes, it’s quietly becoming a sanctuary for farm-to-table experiences and eco-tourism. As the tourism shift moves toward sustainability and local immersion, farm visits offer something deeper than just sightseeing—they connect visitors with the land, the locals, and life beyond the usual itinerary.
Whether you’re a curious foodie, a plant lover, or someone seeking a peaceful weekend out of Iloilo City, Guimaras farm tours tick all the right boxes.
🍫 Mae’s Farm: From Bean to Tablea
Located in Barangay Old Poblacion, Buenavista, Guimaras, Mae’s Farm shows how cacao beans turn into tablea, the key ingredient in the classic Filipino chocolate drink. The aroma alone is enough to pull you in. Visitors can see how the beans are fermented, dried, roasted, and shaped into rounds of rich, bittersweet chocolate.
But it doesn’t stop there.
Mae’s is also known for dragon fruit plantations, homemade virgin coconut oil, and an open space perfect for learning. Schools and tour groups often visit here not just to eat—but to understand. You’ll walk away with hands-on knowledge and a newfound respect for how much love goes into a single bar of chocolate.
What to try: Fresh dragon fruit smoothies, pure tablea hot drink, and VCO soaps.

Quiet, calming, and visually stunning, the garden is perfect for intimate events, prenup shoots, or just a slow, meditative walk. Many visitors say it feels like stepping into a private retreat, tucked far from the usual tourist buzz.
If you’re into plant parenthood, botany, or landscaping, this stop will spark endless curiosity.
