The Bohol Bee Farm

Vicky Wallace, a Boholana environmentalist, just 7 years ago, started with her passion for sustainable agriculture by digging up a small-scale vegetable garden on Panglao and selling her produce locally.  From this a cafe was started, specializing in organic squash muffins, home-baked bread and corn coffee.



Today, the Bohol Bee Farm is a huge outdoor restaurant, hotel with a wonderful pool and an organic farm.  The beehives that lent the farm its name are still in use, but most of the honey production is now happening in Inabanga, where Vicky is coordinating bee-keeping livelihood programs.  The gardens here are overflowing with romaine lettuces, edible herbs and other leafy munchables go into the salads served in the restaurant.  It's hard to believe that the small gardens provides enough food to keep the busy restaurant in constant supply.  Items on the menu consist of their famous squash muffins, lemongrass juice, herb pasta, spicy flower salad and yoga salad.  Then end your meal with a delicious ice cream cone.

The Bohol Bee Farm advocates healthy eating by using their organically grown greens in their restaurant.  Great place to visit and enjoy a meal in the restaurant, an ice cream cone, a herbed tea, a squash muffin or try their many honey spreads in their store.
