Northern Blossom Flower Farm Atok Benguet | Travel Guide

It started as a farm for producing beautiful flowers to be sold to event planners, decorator and practically anyone who wants to buy a flower. The beauty of the farm, facing the mountains of Cordillera, captured the attention of photographers who are in constant search for beautiful locations to capture. Breathtaking indeed, its beauty was captured by Ms. Olen Co. Thanks to the power of social media, that photo sparked the interest of many.

Fast forward to today, Northern Blossoms flower farm is now one of the primary destinations if you ever want to explore places beyond Baguio City. Located in Sayangan, Atok, Benguet, this farm which started as a flower farm is now a full-blown tourist destination. We had the privilege of visiting the farm even before it became very popular and if you had the same experience, when you go back there today, there are some notable changes.

Northern Blossom From Farm to Tourism

It is because of the influx of tourists at the flower farm that the owner, Ms. Lany Ganayan and her family, decided to shift their farm into a tourist attraction. Hence, they developed more of their land for tourism. Aside from the flowers, which in itself are already worth visiting, there were other things added to the farm to make your visit worthwhile.

The vibrance of tourism in Sayangan, Atok Benguet helped not only the flower farm but also the entire community. It all started with a photo shared and fueled by social media, then it became one of the most talked about tourist destinations in the Cordilleras. As witness to the development of the place, we also encourage every tourist to be responsible enough in managing their solid wastes and in following all the reminders and warnings provided by the local government unit. Sayangan, as a tourist destination, is currently in its infancy and we all have the opportunity to start sustainable tourism right.
