ABOUT
What Is Farm Ridge and Sierra360 by Desmond Farm?
Farm Ridge by Desmond Farm is an agriculture and farm tourism destination flourishing in the heart of Pantabangan, a first-class municipality in the province of Nueva Ecija. It began with a vision to promote and highlight agriculture, particularly cacao and organic farming, alongside farm tourism.
Managed by Desmond Farm and Partners Inc. (DFPI), a Philippine-registered corporation, Farm Ridge seeks to transform rural areas into cacao farms, aiming to produce premium-quality cacao beans. DFPI also champions organic farming, employing sustainable techniques that use natural materials and avoid synthetic inputs to preserve soil fertility and ecological balance.
DFPI consists of various stakeholders, including farmers, shareholders, and investors, particularly OFWs. To accommodate these stakeholders during visits to the farm, Farm Ridge carefully constructed guest houses. Visitors are consistently awed by the natural beauty of the area and recognize the importance of supporting diverse agricultural practices. This realization led DFPI to open its doors to the public, offering an opportunity for visitors, especially the youth, to learn about and appreciate agriculture and the environment.
Adding to the farm’s appeal is Sierra 360, a striking restaurant designed as a large hexagonal structure, reminiscent of the bottom side of a cacao fruit. Located within Farm Ridge, Sierra 360 offers a unique dining experience, perfectly complementing the scenic views and farm’s agricultural charm.
Currently, Farm Ridge offers the following activities for a more date with nature and farm life feels: Desmond Farm Cacao Plantation Tour, Cacao Plantation Tour and Awitan Falls Trip, and Backyard Camp
