Love and passion are the two things that spurred Ramona M. Pastor, owner of HN Organic Farm, to fully devote her time to farming after working in various fields abroad for over 10 years.
It was in 2017 when Pastor decided to end her overseas employment in Singapore due to an eye injury and to run the family farm instead. She hails from a family of teachers and farmers, so working in the field was not strange to her.
HN Organic Farm sits on 19-hectares of land in Bongabong, Oriental Mindoro. It is home to high-value crops like coconut, fruit-bearing trees, spices, herbs, ornamental plants, and more. The farm is named after Pastor’s parents, Honorio and Nelcy. The initials also match the farm’s motto, “Harmony with Nature” and description, “Home of Native bees.”
