As Prado’s LPG gates swing open for arriving guests, we give them a special Kapampangan welcome by ushering them into the Salangi (that’s Kapampangan for “come into the shade”). Here, refreshments made from locally grown lemon grass await them. Morning Merienda

After registration at the reception counter, guests may proceed to the Prado store to check out what’s available as , or merely to note the store’s peculiar décor, which hints at more peculiarities to encounter.

A mid-morning minindal, Kapampangan style, awaits guests at the verandah. On some days it might be and fried . On others it could be binatog (steamed white corn kernels flavored with salt and coconut shavings) and coffee. What follows is a tour of the quaint structures on the farm, each one with a story to tell. If walkabouts are not your thing, you have choices to get around - on a bicycle or a -drawn cart. Whimsical things to see..

After the morning merienda, a tour on our front and farm area will follow.

Just behind the red theatre is the kiddie pool with a screened dome over it. A smaller one has been recently added at the side of the theatre. The big salt-water swimming pool is to be reached through a gate at the end of the orchard. It is built above a pond, so in the season of rain, you could very well be enjoying a swim in the pool while underneath, cool themselves in the pond. w Activities for the Kids Guests with children have a number of options to keep the little ones engaged. Kids can be kids here – with all the space they need expend their energies in. They could go around on foot, or on bikes, or on a carabao-drawn cart. How much swimming, wading, climbing, running, fishing and playing can they fit in a day? A lot. The more adventurous won’t lack for hidden corners, crawl spaces and untrodden paths to explore. They could go and see the ducks, the goats, cows and carabaos. Our pigs roam free, feed on surplus vegetables and quality feeds, which is why they do not smell. From Farm to the Table..

We practice what we preach. Most of the food we serve exemplifies farm-to-table cuisine. Not far from the dining hall is where it all comes from. You’ll see the rice crops, the assorted vegetables we grow and the animals we raise biodynamically. The pig pens house more than a hundred pigs in beds of sawdust. They roam free, give off no odor, and feed on high-quality feeds and arugula. Whatever’s in season, whatever we have a surplus of, that’s what they feed on. Nothing is wasted. These practices explain the special quality and taste of the pork we serve, and our pride in our . We grow basil, talelong, kangkong, arugula, alugbati, medicinal plants like serpentina, aloe vera, culinary herbs, banaba, guyabano, pandan-lalaki, lemon grass, , galangal or langkawas. w Kera Kera

The word means “to lie down, to chill”. That’s what people do at the kerakera, the natural next stop after lunch. A coffee room adjoining the main lodge is where guests relax and continue conversations over coffee or tea. The kerakera was built in the 1980s as a retreat house, the largest structure on the farm. Like all the others, it

has a homey, lived-in, period feel, having been built with recycled wood and other materials. Everywhere is an invitation to recline, to rest, to nap…the couches strewn with throw pillows, the cushioned seaters, the wide wooden staircase that leads up to the rooms.

For those wanting to stay overnight, the kerakera offers choices of rooms. See our room rates here. w Hacienda Day Rates & Packages As of June 1, 2019 Hacienda Day - Whole Day
