Typhoon Yolanda is one of the most destructive disasters ever to make landfall in the Philippines.  Its intensity left devastating impacts on people’s lives, particularly on their livelihoods. As one of the main producers of copra in Asia, the Philippines’ coconut industry has been crippled due to millions of affected coconut trees. However, even 12 years after the typhoon, some of these coconut farms still falter in the race of recovery due to challenges in many facets of farming. While numerical data about the status and recovery of these damaged coconut farms are widely available, there is still lack of studies that explore the in-depth experiences of farmers in their rehabilitation efforts, especially in Burauen, Leyte. This study utilized a descriptive single-case study design to gather a deeper understanding of farmers’ experiences in recovering their farms in different areas of the locale. To gather rich data, semi-structured interviews were conducted with seven (7) coconut farmers and were analyzed through thematic analysis. The findings of the study revealed that despite farmers’ rehabilitation initiatives, which included replanting, farm clearing, and intercropping, substantial farm recovery, as manifested by low farm produce and idle areas, is still distant. This phenomenon was accordingly due to barriers such as staggered replanting, financial constraints, diseases, typhoons, and poor soil quality. Ultimately, the results suggest that despite massive external efforts to rehabilitate coconut farms, farm recovery is still a long way off. This underscores the need for agriculture stakeholders to revisit their programs’ design and implementation, and to consider post-implementation strategies like consistent monitoring to ensure the sustainability of rehabilitation measures.
