Description
Since the start of the pandemic, we decided to develop a farm project.
We started an organic farm producing strawberries and mulberries, the only one in Palawan.
We also have a pig farm to get organic fertilizer for the farm and also to educate local farmers how to manage a pig farm.
We employ indigenous people around our farm. We also produce different varieties of aroids as an added attraction to our farm.
In a near future, our goal is to run a farm restaurant were we try to incorporate our farm products into our dishes.Types of help and learning opportunities

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
The program will require minimum work hours. The primary goal is for the employees to learn from the volunteers and to help them develop desirable social skills. In return, the volunteers can learn from the employees themselves as they interact and work with them closely.
Help
Everyone is welcome to help in our farm. We also would like our volunteers to associate with our community to enhance cultural and language exchanges.
