BAUANG, La Union: Grape patrons are not going to the public market here to buy their favorite locally-grown fruits, because they prefer picking it themselves in grape and fruit farms located in Barangay Urayong, which is home of the pioneering of the Lomboy Farms.

Bauang, also known for its Urbiztondo surfing areas, is fast-becoming the “Fruit Basket of the North,” which is part of the vision being pursued by Mayor Eulogio Clarence Martin De Guzman III.
