Vicky Sandidge was working as a nurse in the US when she realised that as a hardworking Filipina, there were opportunities in the Philippines. Rather than work all day with her 3 jobs, she decided to take the plunge and bring her family back to Bohol and do something with some land that she had bought

She started by living in a tree house on the farm property, spending 3 months soaking up the unique environment and how the nature around her worked for this location

Having got a feel for the land, she started to plan the first stages of what is now the Bohol Bee Farm

One area that grew quickly with was the supply of produce of the parents of her children’s classmates. With many foreigners preferring a less sweet bread than is usually available in the local stores, Vicky found a market in both her vegetables and homemade bread
