Don Salvador Benedicto Organic Farm Area
Description
Small organic and mixed farms in the highland barangays supplying Bacolod. In Don Salvador Benedicto, the highland town between Bacolod and San Carlos, cool enough to grow what the lowlands can’t. Farming outside the sugar estates is smallholder and mixed — vegetables, root crops, fruit and cacao often on the same land. Upland farms supply the lowland city markets, which is why highland towns matter far beyond their size. Roadside stalls near the farms sell at the lowest prices you’ll find.
Tips
The Ceres bus from Bacolod to San Carlos via DSB runs straight through the farming country and is both faster and cooler than the coastal route — ask to be dropped at the market. Bring a layer; it"s genuinely cold up here by Negros standards.
Stops
Northern Sugar & Seafood Corridor
How to get there
