At The Farm at San Benito, a world-renowned 5-star resort, wellness is not just a concept but a way of life. To enforce this, serving guests with fresh, clean and nutritious produce is a top priority. A farm-to-table system that would supply their restaurant with the freshest produce straight from their land is an ideal model. But turning this vision into reality required expertise, strategy, and hands-on farm development—and that’s where FarmYields came in.
Transforming The Farm into a Thriving Food Source
FarmYields team stepped in with a comprehensive farm development and management plan, ensuring that every aspect of their farm—from soil health to crop selection—was ready for sustainable, year-round production.
The Farm at San Benito has a lot of ingredient requirements for their menu, and most of these fresh produce are hard to find in the market. Among these are microgreens, sprouts, sugarbeets, arugula, jalapeños and crystal lettuce.
With FarmYields supervision and a team of well-trained farmers, the farm has since then been delivering a continuous supply of fresh produce to their restaurants Alive, Pesce, Upperdeck and the cafeteria.

Organic Sunset Farm: Fresh Herbs & Greens for Bale Campampangan
Located in the heart of Bacolor, Pampanga, Organic Sunset Farm has become a trusted source of fresh, organically grown produce for its partner restaurant, Bale Campampangan, an eat-all-you-can restaurant at City of San Fernando serving Kapampangan cuisine.
In late 2022, the owners of Organic Sunset Farm faced two major challenges—an idle piece of land and rising vegetable costs for their restaurant, Bale Capampangan. They needed a way to maximize their property while securing a more affordable and reliable supply of fresh produce. With FarmYields’ farm development and management services, they transformed their land into a thriving farm, growing a variety of crops specifically for their restaurant. This not only optimized their resources but also significantly reduced their vegetable expenses, creating a sustainable and cost-efficient farm-to-table system.
Since then, Organic Sunset Farm now produces an array of culinary herbs, including basil, oregano, mint, and parsley, as well as lettuce grown in their greenhouse, which is also built by FarmYields. Additionally, papaya, eggplant, peppers, tomatoes, kangkong, pechay, mustasa, sitaw and pako thrive in the farm’s open fields, ensuring a steady supply of high-quality ingredients for the restaurant’s signature dishes.
Through sustainable farming techniques, efficient crop management, and hands-on farmers training, FarmYields has successfully transformed Organic Sunset Farm into a reliable farm-to-table operation, providing fresh, local, and chemical-free produce directly to Bale Campampangan’s kitchen.
The Lake Farm: Premium Vegetables for Holidayland
Nestled in the historic City of San Fernando, Pampanga, The Lake Farm is a thriving agri-tourism resort that supplies Holidayland, a well-loved restaurant specializing in Filipino-Kapampangan cuisine their vegetables.
In 2022, The Lake Farm, an Airbnb resort, had an idle area with great potential for growing crops. The owners saw an opportunity to create something more valuable—not just for their guests but also for their partner restaurant, Holidayland. With rising vegetable costs impacting the restaurant’s menu, they needed a sustainable solution to cut expenses while making the most of their land. By partnering with FarmYields’ farm development and management services, they transformed their farm into a productive agri-resort, growing fresh produce specifically for Holidayland. Now, their farm supplies the restaurant directly, reducing costs while also offering Airbnb guests a unique nature experience and vegetable-picking activity. It’s hitting two birds with one stone—a food-producing farm that supports both a farm-to-table restaurant and a scenic agri-tourism destination.
Since then, The Lake Farm cultivates a diverse selection of vegetables such as mustasa, sigarilyas, ampalaya, pechay, kalabasa, talong, kamatis, sitaw, and sili to name a few, some fruit trees like calamansi and papaya, and a variety of culinary herbs as well like basil and mint.
By implementing modern farming techniques, soil health management, and structured planting calendars, FarmYields team ensure a consistent harvest that meets the demands of Holidayland’s kitchen.
The farm-to-table model not only guarantees fresh, healthy and clean ingredients but also supports the local agricultural economy by giving livelihood to farmers and promoting sustainable food production.
