Rosa Farms is home to the Philippines’ sweetest mangoes, the Carabao Mango, and various organic fruits and vegetables. The farm has 888 mango trees, lovingly grown and nurtured for years, to bring you only the best and sweetest breed of mangoes available in the Philippines.

Walk-in guests can lounge around in the activity area or in our cabanas, and also try our mango-themed dishes from our outdoor cafe, Rosa Café. Guests can roam around the orchard, and see first-hand an operational mango farm. You may also purchase pasalubong from our Lolo David’s Country Store.

During our summer harvest season, we offer a mango Pick-&-Pay Program, where guests can experience picking mature green mangoes directly from the trees (which will ripen in 4-5 days from picking).

History

The origin of Rosa Farms can be traced back to the 1920’s, when the farmland was purchased by a hardworking couple, David Jocson and Rosa Magsaysay, from their lifetime savings. Back then, the 12.5-hectare farm was developed as a rice field, and was referred to as Linoron – the name of a nearby river.

David and Rosa taught the values of hard-work and perseverance to their children and the younger generations. These values, coupled with a strong sense of social responsibility and integrity, became the foundation of the family, with the farm being a constant reminder of these important lessons throughout the years.

The farm witnessed the growth of David and Rosa’s family, having gone through different challenges through the decades, making the family stronger and more resilient.

In 1991, calamity struck. The eruption of Mt. Pinatubo caused the total devastation of the farm, burying the entire area deep in ash, leaving only a few surviving mango trees in the farm. But the resilient spirit and the lessons left behind by David and Rosa remained to uplift the family into rebuilding the farm, virtually from scratch.

After the devastation caused by the Mt. Pinatubo eruption, the grandchildren of David and Rosa began the rehabilitation of the farm, and started the development of a mango orchard, breathing new life into the farmland. By 2011, the farm would come to be known as Rosa Farms, under the management of Ding and Nelda Zulueta.

Only the Best and Sweetest Mangoes

On November 8, 2000, to ensure that only the best varieties of Carabao Mangoes are planted in Rosa Farms, Farm Director Ding Zulueta traveled to the National Mango Research and Development Center in San Miguel, Jordan, Guimaras to acquire some 5,000 mango budsticks of their best mango strains (GES 73, GES 77, GES 84 and GES 85). These scions were then grafted onto local mango seedlings and planted in Rosa Farms in 2001.

Today, Rosa Farms is more than just a venue which provides you with the sweetest mangoes nurtured with patience, care, and True Love. The rich history of Rosa Farms reveals that it remains to be the symbol of David and Rosa’s family’s core values, hoping that these important life lessons transcend to the present generation and to the generations to come.

The Best Mango Varieties 

Rosa Farms’ mangoes from its 888 mango trees are lovingly nurtured and grown, ensuring that our guests get only the sweetest and best possible varieties of the Philippine Carabao Mango. The mangoes are ready for picking 120 days after induction, with the fruits enclosed in a paper bag, as part of Rosa Farms’ commitment to Good Agricultural Practices (GAP). Each mango fruit is sealed in a recyclable paper bag, keeping the fruits pest-free, without the need to use pesticides. The mangoes are still green when harvested from the trees, and are expected to ripen within a week from picking. Mangoes are not left to ripen on the tree, to avoid infestation from pests and spoilage.

The Pick-&-Pay Program is available only during the mango harvest seasons, and participants are required to pre-register. Limited slots usually get filled-up quickly, especially during the summer season. We announce schedules for the program through our Facebook Page, so make sure to Like our Page, to stay updated with our harvest calendar.
