My Quezon Province Adven-Tour: Ouan's The Farm Resort


I was able to visit Ouan's the Farm Resort in Kanlurang Mayao in Lucena City with friends Professor Melissa Dizon (who organized the trip), Travel writer and book author Benjie Locsin Layug, PBB Teen Housemate Maichel Fideles and Videographer Angela Almendras through the kindness of Ms. Lurhen Cortes of APPSLINE Travel, a tourism educator and mover that is very passionate about promoting local tourism destinations in Quezon, her hometown.  It's a worthy  trip from Manila, Quezon has so many things to offer in terms of tourism, the province is very rich in culture and heritage and the locals are very warm and nice, everybody is always smiling.

Going back to Ouan's, we had the chance to meet the General Manager Ms. Ma. Louchiel S. Labay, and her equally lovely daughter.  Ms. Louchiel is  the daughter of retired General  Recaredo Sarmiento, the owner ( it is a family corporation), during breakfast over Lucena empanada, pancit habhab, buko juice and pandan juice it was a delight to hear that the family is into farming and mind you organic farming, the half of the 10 hectares property was dedicated to agri-tourism project, and to grow local organic produce, happiness!

The farm resort is perfect to unwind, family bonding and to do adventurous activities such as zip-lining, rock climbing, and rappelling, both adults and kids will enjoy the activities, the swimming pool is Olympic in size with a special pool for kids, function rooms are available for corporate team building activities, small meetings, weddings and other special occasions and events. 

There are picnic grounds, overnight accommodations,  sports complex and of course the farm. The food is great too, and the staff are professionally trained with their tasks. 

The highlights of our visit is the Ouan's adventure :

Our team also did rappelling which is very easy for me since I used to do a lot of it before.

We are also introduce to Ouan's house specialty and signature dish, the Bangus Sardines, soft and delicious, you can eat the bones and best with rice. A must grab when you visit the place.
