After our short stay in Tagaytay, we went back to Batangas. We passed by at Leisure Farms in Lemery and we planned to scout the place. The produce here are organic and some produce here are bigger than what we usually see in the market.
This place is open from 8am to 4pm with an entrance fee of 100 pesos per head. It is a 13-hectare theme park and offers several activities for visitors. It is best advised to visit early in the morning because of the vastness of the place and for every one to enjoy different activities and demonstrations. If you are fond of gardening and other farming activities, this could be a good avenue for you to enjoy the day. Aside from this, the theme park also aims to make farming interesting for students and kids alike.
Since it was already past 3 in the afternoon, we simply left the place because they will be closed by 4pm. It was no longer practical to roam around and pay the entrance fee of 100 pesos for just a short period of time. We were not able to buy some stuff from their store because no fresh produce was available that afternoon except for tomatoes. 
Batangas is famous for balisong and there is no better place to buy a balisong than in Barangay Balisong. There are so many balisong stores lining the streets of this barangay. It was unfortunate that it was raining that day and we were not able to fully explore the place. Due to the erratic downpour, we dropped by at a particular store and bargain for the best item we could find.
I happened to see also old houses and it could had been my chance to photograph them. If only we had enough time that day and the weather is cooperating, most likely, I could have had several shots. But I promised myself that I'll return to this place one day soon.
I would like to express my sincere gratitude to Randy de Roxas and his parents (they were in Singapore that time) for being hospitable. Likewise, thanks also to Ron Michael Ferrer, Arjay Daluz, and Joey Ignacio for a good company.

ReplyDeleteTnx for dropping by. Tc
I just happened to be browsing when I saw these pics. The guy who owns the butterfly knives is my cousin. The old house in the picture belongs to mom and her sibling after my grandparents passed away. I was so surprised to see these photo. I have not been back since 1992. The house looks old and needs serious fixing. This is a strange coincidence. Thank you for posting...Mary
