Girasoles Farm Candelaria (Angel’s Sunflower Field) — Local services in Candelaria

This place disappointed us and they don't even know how to manage emergency* circumstances.

We came here at the latter part of January 2025. We came all the way from Tayabas (1 hr ride away). My brother bought a coupon earlier in Jan 2025 that's why we have decided to visit the place via walk-in. We were told to wait at their gift shop near the entrance while my brother talked to one of the staff. He was informed that their hall will be used as a wedding reception and they can only accommodate orders by 10am (we came around 8am). For the meantime we were asked to wait by the gazebo area with chairs and tables. Another staff came after 5 mins or so. Saying they can take orders by 12nn. We were okay by it as long as we can go around by the garden but staff said we need to pay the entrance fee. We presented the coupon to avail the free entrance but they said the coupon can only be used if we ordered food. I directly expressed my dismayed. All of these were not stated in the coupon. The staff said her apologies and we decided to stay until we could find somewhere to eat. Later on, another staff came saying sorry. For improvement in the future, I advised them to post on what we can expect upon arrival. I assumed she felt offended with the advice. She went to defend that she was assigned to manage their socmed and she was also assigned to do the shopping, she even highlighted how she has to go early to the market. She ranted that they have to accommodate at least 100+ pax and a scheduled food tasting - which can't be cancelled since the couple was all the way from San Pablo Laguna (2-3hrs away). And then asked us if we have any reservation. We explained the coupon said that walk-in visitors are welcomed and that we have not seen any post that the place was closed due to early reservations. We said that we would just look for other place before leaving and she suggested other alternatives.

We understand that some circumstances may go out of hand. I just hoped that they have managed the situation well and welcomed suggestions from the customers.

It's okay, it has many flowers and kinda cute but I really do think that it should not be for public. Kasi it's a garden and plants don't like to be touch frequently, so it stresses them when there are too many people visiting it. Another is the food stand, please have a proper stand, yung malinis and have a good quality food. Mas maganda if they will instead make their own Restaurant inside. And instead make it an authentic place to experience life in province instead of na ganyan binabayaran ng tao just to take pictures. I would pay more for a moment that will make me keep remembering it than a good picture that was not even fun to be with. Mas maganda kasi yung fun moment na ang sarap sarap ikwento na ang ganda doon ng ambiance para ka talagang nasa probinsya tapos ang sarap ng pagkain nila doon. Filipino food with a...

Off the Candelaria bypass.. you will no doubt see this if you are on your way south (on your left side of the bypass) or the right if heading northbound.

The entrance is lined with colourful umbrellas which lead you to the entrance of angels sunflower seed. You can pick up organic fertilizers, sunflower seeds or a few souvenirs which are available.

We were with a group of 6 and paid P180 entrance for all. There may not be a maze at this sunflower field but still the experience was great to be able to walk in the organic garden which has many vegatables like okra, Kang Kong, eggplant, tomatoes and more.

Have a few photo ops with the butterfly wings or the 5 t 6 feet high sunflower plants.

If you haven't already visited it's worth a quick stop to allow your driver for your time time to rest and even eat at...
