SARIAN FARM

SARIAN FARM which specializes in exotic fruit trees is very easy to locate. It is found along the national road in Teresa, Rizal, about 30 meters on the right side before the Teresa-Morong boundary. Teresa is the town next to Antipolo City. There is a big arch at the boundary.
  
If you are coming from Manila with your own ride, take Ortigas Avenue Extension and drive all through Antipolo City down to Teresa. You will pass through a zigzag road before reaching the town of Teresa. If you take a jeep or bus, make sure that the vehicle you take passes through Antipolo City proper and not through the town of Angono.
  
SARIAN FARM offers superior varieties of fruit trees, both local and imported. These include Abiu from Brazil, variegated orange, imported makopa varieties, selected carabao mangoes, imported mango varieties from Taiwan (Golden Queen), Australia (Peach Mango or R2E2), Thailand (Many Babies, Eating Green, Chokanan); Longkong lanzones from Thailand, Duku lanzones, pummelos from Thailand, Vietnam, Florida (USA) and of course from the Philippines (Magallanes). We also have seedlings of latexless jackfruit and pomegranate from India and Israel.

SARIAN EXOTIC FRUIT TREES

Sarian Exotic Fruit Trees (SEFT) is the home of a wide array of superior fruit trees, both imported and indigenous varieties. It is located in Teresa, Rizal which is the next town to Antipolo City.

Owned and operated by Zac B. Sarian, it is located  along Sumulong Road, 30 meters before Teresa-Morong boundary. There’s a big arch at the boundary.

The vision of Zac B. Sarian has been to assemble a collection of superior mother fruit trees so that they could be multiplied in big numbers. This way, fruit farmers will have a place where they can source their planting materials.

Today, the farm has become a favorite destination of fruit farmers wanting to know the latest developments in fruit trees. Commercial growers as well as hobbyists often visit the place, not only to buy planting materials but also to taste the fruits in season. Groups of farmers and government agriculturists from Leyte and Samar, Cagayan, Pangasinan, Ilocos, Marinduque, Las Pinas City, Batangas and elsewhere have visited the place.

These exotic fruit trees include the following:
