Tagaytay Pineapple plantation
Posted by on September 29, 2006
When we recently went to Tagaytay City, my sister Ging’s boyfriend, Arthur, decided to tour us to their pineapple plantation somewhere in the city. Tagaytay City, is known not only for its cool climate but also as one of the leading producers of pineapple in Luzon.
We were caught off-guard. Most of us were just wearing shorts. And pineapple leaves have spikes at its end. Add to that are the itchy and thorny grasses on the pathway. It really was very very itchy.
But it didn’t stop us. The view of the pineapple plantation is breathtaking. There were hundreds, or shall I say, thousands of pineapples planted row-by-row. Many of its produce are delivered to the Metro Manila markets. There are also rare occations when Dole and Del Monte get their pineapple supplies in Tagaytay when their Polomolok, North Cotabato and Malaybalay, Bukidnon plantations run short of their production.
At the end of the day, we were all happy bring home several pieces of pineapples. Some of our loot was even shipped to our relatives in Bacolod. We had so much fun at the plantation. It’s all worth the itch and the scratches in our legs!
