My husband just came home from a three-day trip in Quezon. He brought me a huge bunch of mums with the longest stems I’ve ever seen. No wonder, he picked the flowers themselves at this chrysanthemem farm in Tayabas.

The author
It's tempting to simply ask that you Google "Connie Veneracion" or "Sassy Lawyer" or "Pinoy Cook" and have this page done with. But that might give you the wrong idea about me. A third of what's been written about me is true, a third is half-true and the rest consists of drug-induced hallucinations. I suppose I'd better let me, rather than them, tell you about me. I'm … »
The cooks
*This article was last updated on October 2, 2011. In 2003, a time when I hadn't heard of the term "blog", I started a recipe website at cooking.houseonahill.net using a now defunct content management system that ran on ASP.

I know this place! We buy our flowers from this farm which is near to our lot.
So, your lot overlooks the farm? Lucky you! How nice to see something like this everyday.
I really, truly am glad I found this site. It has answered so many questions for me. I will be back. Thank You
I am glad I have seen a real picture of a farm like the one featured. I haven’t seen one yet. I wish I could visit one day.
I am a seaman and would like to retire soon. My plan is to have a flower farm since I have a green thumb and has been gifted with the art of flower arranging. These gifts, i would like to make use at the right time.
Can anybody please help me how to start my farm. I have a 4.75 hectares of land (not much, but good for a start) in an elevated cool location just like Tagaytay. Water is no problem, a spring is in the site. The soil i believe is very good, now it is still uncleared of the cover crops.
My major problem is where to get the seedlings of Chrysanthemum mums, exactly what’s in the picture above and how to get the best produce. I commit to organic farming.
Please anybody with a generous heart, spare me some info. Email me please at odje@yahoo.com. Thanks a lot.
God bless you all.
Do they use lighting and blacking out operations in their farm?????
I appreciate the stem length of their mum flowers
Do their temperature is cool enough???
