Pick a Rambutan by Yourself!

You have tried a lot of exciting and muscle-demanding adventures in your life. Why not try a very fine and relaxing one?

One great experience is Rambutan picking. You can try it at Nica Farm located in Barangay La Paz, Tibiao in Antique Province. It's fine to see rambutan in its native setting. The farm  has its slave of carabaos and rows upon rows of rambutan trees will amaze and excite you to pick one and taste it. A refreshing scene from the usual farm you used to fell.

Nica Farm was named after the owner's youngest daughter, and is actually a private fruit orchard. But they do open the place to tourists for fruit picking during weekends for a very affordable fee. A humble and generous business, I can say. You can eat everything you picked and you can even bring some at much cheaper price rather than those being sold in the market.

Besides rambutan, the farm also produces other fruits like mangoes, pomelos, bananas, lanzones, durians and mangosteens. But really, rambutans are abundant.
Rambutans are tropical fruit. It is said to have originated from Indonesia, with it's name coming from the word "rambut" which means hairy.

The usual rambutans which I know to have tastes sweet are the red ones and the green ones considered unripe. But on Nica Farm, the farm folks says that green ones are actually much sweeter than it's red counterpart.

Well, to taste is to believe!
