My Tita Grace, who is my mom's best friend (and Tita means "auntie") just recently bought a lot of land in Pila, Philippines, where she is going to start a goat farm! I got to check it out. It is called Graco farms. They are still building and developing it, but it has a creek, kitchen, durian, rombutan, bananas, ducks, chickens, turkey and more. It will eventually have a small inn, and have goats for the production of goat milk for consumption and bath goods.
Pila is about 2-3 hours drive from Manila and is an area called Laguna. The town of Pila itself is very cute, with a quaint church, and is pretty clean. In Laguna, they are known for Buko pie, which is coconut pie. Pretty yummy stuff. They also have Espasol, which is a gummy treat that I think is made out of rice.
Hi Tracy!! I've read all that you have posted about your trip. Sounds fun! Can't wait to read more! I'm loving how you're explaining the people, towns and FOOD (the roasted pig sounded fantastic). It's like I have my very own Anthony Bourdain, minus the cameras!
ReplyDeleteI really missed you camping! It was lots of fun. Would have appreciated less bugs... and it was REALLY cold on Friday night. I'm sure Neal was missing his cuddle buddy. It was awesome to see Bob, it had been like 4 years!
Well keep up the blogging :) Continue traveling safely. Been thinking about you. We should plan a dinner date with the gang when you return.
Love ya,
Jenelle
