Mara at Leisure Farms

The Leisure Farms Tagaytay, located at Lemery, Batangas, about 2 hours drive from Manila, is not just a theme park. It is composed of small farms that showcase different crops and agricultural technology, packaged for the entertainment and education of kids, as well as curious adults. Mara joined a school field trip here last 7 Feb 2008.

On a 13-hectare property beside the privately owned Leisure Farms Tagaytay in Lemery, Batangas, the Leisure Farms Adventures offers "agritainment" to visitors. The agricultural theme park aims to make farming interesting, particularly among students and children, with the hope of making professional farmers out of them. It has picnic areas, gardens, and a shaped-like banca fish pond. The fishing station serves as a place for inquiries, rental of fishing rods, and even grilling of the fish caught by the visitors. Not far from the fish pond is the fishing lake, with the nearby picnic site. The fishing area is equipped with cleaning and cooking tools. Little huts are lined up beside the lake area for family picnics. Not far is a 60-70 square-meter butterfly garden.

They have also a Village store designed for visitors to relax and socialize. This is where they also can buy the farm's produce, everything native as well as pickled products supplied from outside producers. The Village Store Café, situated in the Village store, serves Figaro coffee and fresh sandwiches.

Visitors to the park could also take the forest trail that goes inside the Leisure Farms. The trail will allow visitors to see the farms of private owners as well as visit a bird sanctuary where rare species of birds are sighted.
