Rosa Farms is offering a Pick-and-Pay program where you can pick mangoes and pay for them. We wanted to experience picking mangoes so we drove to Km 156 San Marcelino, Zambales. From SBMA take Kalaklan exit and follow the long road to San Marcelino for about 45 minute drive.
When we entered the gate of the farm, we're awed to see mango trees beautifully lined up. We learned that the farm has 888 mango trees!
Aside from mango trees, they also have pomelo, tamarind, papaya. They also have beds of lettuce and potted herbs.
We were amazed by one tree which has huge mangoes around 8 inches in length. It is not for picking yet but rather for picture taking only. All of us - niece, nephew, mum, sister, bro in law and husband, took turns in taking photos of self with the huge mangoes.
All in all we picked 10 kg of green mangoes at Php80 /kg. We also bought yellow mangoes which were already pre-picked days before. The staff at the farm was so helpful, accommodating and friendly. And they even gave us free yellow mangoes to taste test. The yellow mangoes were deliciously sweet. We really enjoyed the experience!
