To adjust to this situation, Arby Bautista, an event professional and co-owner of Bautista Nature Farm, turned to farm after his digital and events company was shut down during the quarantine period.
Combining farming and technology, Bautista started documenting his farming journey and posts them on his YouTube account titled Kuys Kiko Vlog.
FIELDWORK, LITERALLY
After visiting numerous destinations during events, this farmer decided to transform the family lot into a tourism site, given that he also sees its potential as a place for people to connect with nature.

Bautista Nature Farm is almost a four-hectare farm situated in San Jose Del Monte, Bulacan that offers accommodation as well as farming and camping activities like planting and trekking for guests.
