Ostrich Farm in Opol

One of the fun things about Sundays is you get to spend it with family. This time, we decided to visit the Ostrich Farm in Malanang, Opol, Misamis Oriental. This farm is owned by the Limketkai's. It has 600 Ostriches and right now, they are the sole producer of Ostrich meat in Cagayan de Oro City and they even supply nationwide.

Well, we had an interesting adventure because we got lost going there. Apparently, we went through the other side of the mountain completely far from the road to the farm. However, as we went back and asked nearby residents, we got along just fine. Just a tip, when you get to the market of Opol, go through the "galingan" or rice milling area and go straight. Travel is about 5 kilometers with rocky and bumpy road. It has not really been developed for tourism purposes but people go here anyway.

Reaching the place has never been such a relief for all of us. After the heat and exhaustion, I am still glad everyone was a sport. so went in and they are open daily Mondays to Sundays. Fees are for adult, P30, student P20 and kids P15. Aside from the Ostrich, they have crocodiles, peacocks and sheeps.

If you wish to buy Ostrich meat, they can at P1,100 to P600 per kilo.

The tour was really most interesting with the kids. They were amazed with the huge Ostrich egg and Dwayne was really amazed with the crocodile. It was his first time. After the brief encounter with the big birds and crocs, we went straight to the nearest beach spot in Opol. Time to relax and unwind and of course swim!

These kids wanted it so bad.
