Our Story
Rancho Blanco began as Rancho Blanco Dates Farm, a family planting project in Barangay Balete, Batangas City. The family planted the first Date Trees in 2000, challenging the belief that they couldn't grow here. They did.
Who We Are
Family-run, Batangueño pride
Still operated by the Blanco family on the land they planted.
A real working farm
Khalas date palms grown on the estate since 2000, not a prop for the resort.
Grown from nothing
From a home planting project to a nationally featured destination.
Countryside hospitality
Villas, events, and recreation built around the farm, not instead of it.
“A simple home, and a belief that Date Trees could thrive here. That's where this estate started.”
The Rancho Blanco Story
How It Grew
The estate's first Date Trees were planted when the region wasn't thought to support them.
The plantation grew further, meant as a resource for country developers and landscapers.
Villas, a garden wedding venue, and The Stable Event Center were added as the estate grew.
Rancho Blanco Recreation and Resort OPC remains a family estate, not a franchise.
2019 and After
In 2019, a blog post about the farm's organic dates fruit went viral, and a follow-up on Batangas Republic Channel reached millions. ABS-CBN and GMA Network covered the story, and Rancho Blanco grew from a family farm into one of Batangas's most visited destinations, without losing the estate it started as.
Come See It
Walk the plantation, meet the animals, and stay for a meal or a night. We'd love to welcome you to the estate.
