The Apiary Mountain Camp & Farm
Nestled in the serene mountains of Tanay, Rizal, The Apiary Mountain Camp and Farm began in 2018 as a family farm with a vision of creating a sanctuary for nature and community. While parts of the land were thriving, others called for renewal and care. Over six years, we transformed these areas into vibrant spaces, cultivating vegetables, herbs, flowers, and native trees. We have planted over 200 Philippine native trees as part of our reforestation efforts. Located within the Kaliwa Watershed Protected Area, we are inspired by the responsibility to protect this vital ecosystem. This commitment led us to embrace organic farming and camping as a type of accommodation, prioritizing low-impact activities and amenities that allow guests to fully connect with nature. Instead of resort-style development, we chose to create a space that celebrates the beauty of the mountains and encourages sustainable living. Our journey has been fueled by a passion for sustainability and a deep love for the outdoors. What started as a modest family endeavor has blossomed into an oasis of natural beauty and heartfelt hospitality, offering a space where visitors from all walks of life can reconnect with nature. Today, The Apiary is more than a home for crops and bees—it’s a sanctuary where guests can learn the art of sustainable agriculture and immerse themselves in the peaceful joys of mountain living. Whether you're seeking adventure, relaxation, or a peaceful retreat, The Apiary is your gateway to tranquility, inspiration, and connection.
