Want to experience what’s it’s like to plant and harvest vegetables and herbs? Or feed animals? Visit WIN Farm in Cavite!
It’s funny. I remember back in high school, I was very much addicted to Facebook’s Farmville, Harvest Moon, and pretty much any farming game. One day, I told my friends that maybe I might as well become a farmer with how much I loved playing my games. Then, I can grow my own food and never have to work for paper money. For the 14-year-old me, that was a really great plan.
Fast forward to 10 years later, I had the chance to visit WIN Farm and relive all those farming days on my computer. But now, in real life. It was pretty awesome.
If you’re a parent looking for a great place to bring your kids, WIN Farm is the best place to go. If you’re stressed at work, why not escape the city and immerse yourself in a one-of-a-kind farming experience? I promise you won’t regret it.
Disclosure: I have partnered with WIN Farm for this post. All opinions are my own.

Things To Do
Feed the Animals
WIN Farm has all sorts of animals. You’ll find here chickens, rabbits, ducks, tilapia, pigs, parrots, bees and so much more. When you visit, you can get the chance to feed all these and get up close and personal. I loved touching the soft fur of the rabbits and feeding the chickens with my bare hands (their beaks ticked!).
Check Out The Herbs
One of my favorite part of WIN Farm is the herbs. Check out their collection of different herbs. Each one is labeled with the herb’s name and benefits. You can also buy an herb to bring home starting at P50 up to P600 per pot which is quite cheap. These are best placed in your kitchen to be used for your next cooking ventures.
Plant and Harvest
From sowing, replanting, to harvesting, you can experience all of these at WIN Farm. I tried my hands on planting lettuce and transplanting them to the garden. The feeling of planting a seed is pretty incredible.
Pick Fruits
Depending on the season, you can pick star apples, lanzones, rambotan, papaya and a lot more! After which, you can buy these per kilo. Freshly picked fruits are the best!
Relax
There are a lot of trees, and benches around WIN Farm for you to relax in and take in the farm. You can also opt for a fresh buko juice drank directly from the coconut! Nothing can beat that.
What We Loved
Ryk and I had the opportunity to do a tour around WIN Farm and get a hands-on experience of the farm life. And well, apart from remembering my farming games back in high school, WIN Farm made me relive my childhood.
You see, I grew up on my parent’s farm. We had kamote, banana, taro, pineapples, chickens, pigs, and a whole lot more! My playground were the gardens and the small creek beside our house.
WIN Farm is an agritourism destination that you’ll want to keep going back to. The farmers are really friendly and helpful. They’re very much knowledgeable so feel free to ask them anything.
I loved that all their products displayed in the small store at WIN Farm are made by the staffs themselves. All the ingredients all came from the farm itself.
Plus, the farm provides most of the ingredients used to prepare the food at Mon’s Restaurant, within the same Camp Benjamin area. Absolutely amazing! It’s a farm to plate kind of relationship between the two.
How To Get There
- From Pasay, ride a bus heading to Alfonso, Cavite. Fare is 100+ pesos per head and travel time is around 3 to 4 hours depending on the traffic around Dasmarinas and Silang.
- Ask the driver to drop you off at Alfonso Bayan. From here, ride a tricycle to Camp Benjamin. Viola! You’re at the WIN Farm.
WIN Farm is also just a few minutes drive away from Tagaytay. So if you are looking for a new destination near Tagaytay, this is the place to be!
