FARM TOURS AND WORKSHOPS
Know how coffee is produced straight from the source, and how it becomes that addictive drink that you now have in your cup. We at VerraCoffee are encouraging coffeepreneurs to consider coffee farming, because there is a huge demand for Philippine coffee abroad but not enough supply in the Philippines. We offer coffee farm tours that is within driving distance from Manila. Choose from a tour that fits your schedule. There is a one-day Liberica farm tour in South Luzon, and a two-day and three-day Arabica immersion and bootcamp that includes tree planting activities.
