Masaplod Norte Organic Farm Area

Description

Organic-farm and permaculture area in Dauin associated with vegetables, cacao, coconuts, and eco-farm food culture. In Masaplod, a barangay of Dauin with an organic and permaculture farming cluster. 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 farming approach is the reason to come rather than the produce — arrange a visit rather than turning up, since these are working eco-farms not open attractions. The stingray sanctuary offshore is a separate short trip from the same barangay.
