Northern Blossom Flower Farm in Atok is a must-visit. Let me tell you why.
IMPORTANT: Following the Executive Order No. 09-2020 by Mayor Raymundo Sarac on lifting the temporary suspension on tourism activities, it is asked that all tourists, visitors, and guests visiting the municipality of Atok, to pre-register first at the designated registration area at PAOAY Barangay Hall in Sayangan, Paoay, Atok, Benguet for monitoring purposes. (NO PRE-REGISTRATION, NO ENTRY).
Do you love to eat cabbages? I do. With a pinch of salt and a few chunks of meat, it’s breakfast or lunch or dinner. Honestly, it’s one of the staple ingredients in most Igorot dishes as the province of Benguet produces thousands of kilos of cabbages per month.
You see cabbage everywhere in the market. I’ve seen green ones, violet ones, big ones, small ones, and dried ones but never have I imagined that there exist cabbage roses. What more is that the one producing it is the Northern Blossom flower farm in Atok which is only an hour away from our place.
All of these questions were answered when my sister and I visited the Northern Blossom flower farm in Atok, Benguet. Recently, it has gained popularity because of its cabbage roses. Since the place was near our hometown, we went to check it out.

Northern Blossom Flower Farm in Atok
Northern Blossom flower farm in Atok, Benguet is a two-hectare wide plantation. It is owned by Mellany Ganayan and her husband. Together, they both manage the farm and a flower shop business in Dimasalang, Metro Manila.
Since most of their flowers are of a rare variety, their shop has catered to a lot of flower arrangement stylists who want to include the flowers in their styles and designs.

Their flowers have been used to decorate the Malacanang Palace, the nuptial of Senator Chiz Escudero and Heart Evangelista, to Dingdong Dantes and Marian Rivera’s wedding.

Location
You can find the flower farm in Sayangan, Atok, Benguet approximately 1.5 hours away from Baguio City. It’s easy to spot the entrance to the flower farm. If you’re coming from Baguio, keep your eyes open to the right side of the road for the Northern Blossom Flower Farm tarpaulin.
Rates
To get in, you have to pay the Northern Blossom Flower Farm entrance fee:
- 250 pesos for adults
- 50 pesos for kids (5-10years old)
Plus, a 20 pesos environmental fee.
There were flowers outside freshly picked ready for anyone to buy.
We were assigned a guide to tour us around the farm. I was pretty impressed, as we went from flower to flower, our guide filled us in with a lot of information.

The farm looked like any vegetable farm. The only difference is that they plant flowers instead of vegetables. There were snapdragons, rice flowers, dusty miller, alstroemeria, cabbage roses, delphiniums, and many others. If you want to learn more about flowers, in general, consider checking out the Green Pinky



By the time we reached the section of the cabbage roses, most were already harvested. From the farm, you’ll be able to see the neighboring mountains including Mt. Pulag.
I asked our guide if it’s possible to eat these beautiful cabbage roses. She said yes, but it’s not recommended as these are sprayed with lots of pesticides so yeah too bad, huh?
