"By 2010 so umikot na ako sa iba't ibang farms, nakita ko na 'yung mga problema, sabi ko sa sarili ko after one year of going around, unless ako mismo ang magfa-farm hindi ko buong maiintindihan 'yung mga dinadanas ng mga farmer," he shared in an interview with Bernadette Sembrano for the latter's YouTube vlog.

On why the farm is called Sweet Spring Country Farm, Kiko relayed that there is natural spring water in the middle of the property. "Free-flowing pa rin siya so kita mo 'yung eco-system niya," he relayed.
