| God's Love Family Farm is a Farm cum resort amidst the rolling hills of Bo. Silangan in San Mateo, Rizal, a short 20-minute drive away from Marikina City. The farm is owned by Mr. & Mrs Dionisio A. Salvador Sr. Having been weaned away for years from the quiet and simple life that they had back in Ilocos Norte, the enterprising couple had always longed for a farm away from the rush in the city, but it took them quite a while to find the perfect setting for the paradise they wanted. After a long search and having seen the potentials of San Mateo, they invested on a 6-hectare lot in that suburban area.
On Fenruary 11, 2003, the construction of the farm resort began. In a short span of time, the Salvadors' dream beacame a reality. Although it was originally conceived to be a family get-away, the farm and resort turned out to be too good to be true that the family couldn't help but open it to the public in March 2004. The initial response of the public was warm and encouraging.l This inspired nthe farm management to provide more amenities and undertake further improvement. Today, it has grown from a farm that raises poultry and grows organic fruits and vegetables in greenhouses and a resort for outdoor activities to a multi-purpose destination with amenities good enough for the convenience and satisfaction of guests.
The road from the Panganan up the hill leads to a dormitory for transient guests with a capacity of 60 beds. At the crest of the hill is a Balay on the hills, a multi-purpose structure that is an ideal for retreats, recollections, seminars, conventions and other corporate functions, overnight or even longer. It has sleeping quarters for 120 guests, a spacious conference hall and a dining hall on its upper deck. Within its vicinity is the farm chapel and a prayer garden with the Stations of the Cross, a Rosary Garden, and a Grotto with life-size statues of Our Lady of Lourdes and Bernadette where one can come upclose to nature and experience the refreshing and healing presece of God.
