The recently concluded 2026 DTI-Bagong Pilipinas National Food Fair transformed the Megatrade Hall at SM Megamall into a vibrant hub of Filipino flavors, and right at the heart of it—Booth 022—was a familiar, rustic sanctuary.

Sonya’s Garden brought the signature charm of Alfonso, Cavite, to the bustling crowd of Metro Manila. For five days, the booth served as a sensory escape, offering a curated selection of the garden’s most beloved artisanal creations and wholesome harvests.

What Was on the Shelves?

Visitors at Booth 022 were treated to the “countryside experience” through a variety of Sonya’s signature products:

• Artisanal Jams & Dips: The famous Spanish Sardines, Peppercorn Dip, and sun-ripened fruit preserves that have made their breakfast buffet legendary.
• Garden-Fresh Greens: A selection of crisp, pesticide-free vegetables and herbs, harvested straight from the rolling hills of Cavite.
• Wholesome Treats: Freshly baked bread and pastries that capture the simple, honest flavors of rustic living.

Why It Stood Out

Amidst over 320 exhibitors from across the archipelago, Sonya’s Garden remained a standout for its commitment to sustainability and wellness. As the fair spotlighted the “Tatak Pinoy” strategy—emphasizing local innovation and eco-friendly practices—the booth perfectly embodied the harmony between nature and enterprise.

For many, the visit was more than just a shopping trip; it was a nostalgic reminder of the serenity found in Alfonso. Whether it was a jar of jam or a bundle of fresh basil, patrons took home a small piece of the “secret garden” magic.

Missed the fair? While the National Food Fair has wrapped up, the rustic flavors of the countryside are always available at the main estate in Alfonso, Cavite.
