A Day at SVD Laudato Si' Farm: Divine Nature and Delightful Bites in Tagaytay

SHARE THIS ARTICLE:

Nestled in the cool, breezy city of Tagaytay, SVD Laudato Si' Farm or SVD Farm offers more than just a breath of fresh air. Managed by the dedicated Society of Divine Word priests, brothers, and missionaries, this 5.8-hectare haven is a fusion of faith, food, and farming that invites visitors to experience a slice of pastoral bliss.

As you enter the gates, the serenity of the place immediately embraces you. The farm is not just a place to unwind; it's a spiritual retreat with a chapel that stands as a testament to the community's faith. The Virgin of the Poor chapel's architecture is a marvel, blending seamlessly with the natural surroundings, inviting visitors to pause and reflect.

But the SVD Farm is not just about spiritual nourishment. It's a place where your taste buds can embark on a journey too. The on-site SVD cafe and pizzeria serve up a variety of treats that are sure to delight. Imagine savoring a slice of pizza, with its gooey cheese and fresh toppings, right in the heart of nature. And let's not forget the traditional Filipino delicacies! The steamed bamboo puto bumbong and charcoal bibingka are a must-try. The subtle smokiness infused in the bibingka from the charcoal is a unique culinary experience that shouldn't be missed.

Nature lovers will find a wealth of activities on the farm. Beyond these immersive experiences, a contemplative path leads through the Stations of the Seven Sorrows of Mary, culminating in the ascent of the Hill of the Sacred Heart. At the summit, the statue of the Sacred Heart of Jesus stands as a powerful symbol of faith, reflecting the deep devotion of SVD founder St. Arnold Janssen. This tranquil retreat invites visitors to reflect, connect with nature, and be rewarded with stunning panoramic views of the farm.


Or perhaps you'd prefer to visit the Gazebo and St. Peter’s Fishpond., where children (and the young at heart) can enjoy the simple pleasure of fishing and fish feeding activities.

The farm also serves as a testament to sustainable living. Visitors can purchase fresh vegetables and plants, all grown with care by the SVD community. It's a great way to support local agriculture and take a piece of Tagaytay's bounty home with you.


Facilities at the farm are well-maintained, with a spacious parking area, and a pet-friendly environment, ensuring a comfortable visit for all family members, including the furry ones.

While the farm offers a multitude of delights, it's worth noting that during our visit, the service at the cafe was slower than anticipated. The wait for food dampened our spirits slightly, but it's a small hiccup in what was otherwise a wonderful visit. We hope that the management will address this feedback to perfect the experience for future guests.


In conclusion, SVD Laudato Si' Farm is a gem in Tagaytay that offers a unique blend of spirituality, sustainability, and gastronomy. Whether you're seeking a quiet moment in the chapel, a fun family activity, or just a delicious meal amidst nature, this farm is a destination that promises to enrich your soul and please your palate. Just remember to bring a little patience for the cafe service, and you're set for an unforgettable experience.
