Final Part of My Three part tip on garin farms with assorted views inside the complex/

The Garin farm is located at the town of San Joaquin, about 65 kilometers west of Iloilo City and about a 1 1/2 drive if via a rented van or 2 1/2 hours if taking a jeepney from Iloilo City. The Garin Farm is an integrated organic farm, restaurant, bed and breakfast inn, mini zoo and pilgrimage center rolled into one and is located in a 14 hectare enclave in San Joaquin and is owned by the former Governor of Iloilo Province. Among the amenities there include, organically grown vegetables and fruit and meat like goat or sheep or chicken or pork from their farm. a 400 step Hilltop Cross, a big restaurant with a commanding view of San Joaquin Town and the sea, a zipline, a man made lagoon and more.

How to get there:

From SM City, Iloilo, take the SM Mandurriao jeepney and take a stop at the nearby intersection under the overpass and ride the Oton bound jeep going to the jeepney terminal located in Mohon, Oton.
- In Mohon Oton Terminal, there will be several San Joaquin jeepneys ready to take you to GarinFarm for 60 pesos only. Then Take a tricycle ride and tell the driver to take you to GarinFarm, Brgy. Huna. Brgy. Huna is a 2-minute ride from San Joaquin town proper.
