Hello! I'm Al , born and raised in Coron Palawan, founder of a farming organisation - a learning and training site on Conservation Agriculture for Organic Agriculture in Coron Palawan, Philippines. We aim to be a model permaculture farm in the region. This is also a farm tourism destination promoting ecotourism activities such as river kayaking, bird watching, nature biking, farm to table dining and earthing in partnership with grassroots communities such as Tagbanuas and Cuyunens- the indigenous cultural communities in Northern Palawan.

Meet our team when you come. Juan, Neneng, Vincent, Jonathan, Jerwin and Abet all locals with different talents in farming.

Unterkunft
Our farm house is away from the busy Coron town and situated in a typical village. It is equipped with a kitchen, bathroom, dipping pool, working area with electricity. There is an internet connection but not fast. It has a private room but we prefer sleeping on mats/foam with mosquito nets.

You can pick and cook farm produce including veggies, herbs, eggs, and fruits. We have an open kitchen available where you can prepare your own meals. We sometimes will eat as a group!
Was noch ...
To anyone interested staying to our farm house it would be ideal to have a motorbike as a regular transport. This will provide mobility if he/she wants to get to town to take island tours. Once at the farm there are mountain bikes available too for use to buy stuff in the nearby stores.

It is with great pleasure that we extend our highest recommendation for Emilio and Karla, who have been exceptional volunteers at our farm.

Upon leaving, they expressed a desire to extend their stay, which speaks volumes about their commitment and the positive experience they had with us. We were truly saddened to see them go, as their contributions and company had become a cherished part of our daily lives.

We wholeheartedly thank Emilio and Karla for all the good they've brought to our farm and community. Their work ethic, positive attitudes, and willingness to embrace and contribute to our vision have left a lasting impact. We are better for having had them with us and would welcome them back in a heartbeat.

Thank you, Emilio and Karla, for your incredible contributions. We wish you all the best in your future endeavors and hope that your journeys bring you back to us someday.

As an integral part of our team, she undertook a project to paint the aquaponics tubs, transforming them into vibrant pieces of art that not only beautified our farm but also infused it with energy and… read more inspiration.

Bensimon's artistic freedom in designing the tubs was a testament to her creative vision and our trust in her abilities. Her work has not only enhanced the aesthetic appeal of our farm but has also become a source of admiration and inspiration for everyone who visits or works with us. The colorful and lively tubs now stand as a lasting legacy of her time here, reflecting both her artistic talent and her ability to bring joy and life to the surroundings.

Beyond her artistic contributions, Bensimon's positive attitude and kind-hearted nature were truly remarkable. Her ability to connect with our family, fellow volunteers, and workers showcased her compassionate spirit and added a unique warmth to our community. Whether working in the morning or relaxing during her breaks, Bensimon's presence was a constant source of positivity.

As her first workaway experience, Bensimon has set a high standard for herself and others, leaving an indelible mark on the farm. Her work, attitude, and the friendships she forged here speak volumes of her character and the impact one person can have on a community.

We are immensely grateful for Bensimon's contributions to the farm and are proud to have had her as part of our family.

Dear Nicola and Luke,

Your kindness and friendship… read more throughout your stay were the highlights of our days. It's not every day that we have the fortune to meet such genuinely lovely people, willing to dive into the farm life with such enthusiasm and warmth. The campfire night remains a cherished memory for us too, symbolizing the warmth and light you brought into our lives and the farm.

We're so grateful for the way you integrated with the team and contributed with your skills, energy, and most importantly, your incredible spirits. Sharing games, yoga sessions, and kayaking adventures with you not only enriched our project but also strengthened the bonds among everyone here. Your involvement and eagerness to learn about sustainable farming and our ethos have left a lasting impression, not just on us but on the entire community we're striving to support.

It was an honor to have you at the first permaculture site, witnessing the dawn of what we hope will be a thriving future for eco-farmers, thanks to the path you helped pave with your hard work and dedication.

Nene is especially touched by your kind words about her cooking. She, like all of us, thoroughly enjoyed the blend of self-cooked meals and shared dining experiences with you. It's the sharing of meals and stories that truly cements the feeling of family and community, and we were so fortunate to have that with you.

Your recommendation means the world to us, and more than that, your endorsement of the values and learning opportunities here at the farm is something we hold very dear. It reassures us that we're on the right path, creating meaningful experiences for our volunteers while working towards our vision for the community and the environment.

Al, Mae, Zaldy and Neneng, from the bottom of our hearts, thank you for your friendship, your hard work, and the joy you've brought into our lives. We cherish the time we spent together and are filled with hope that we'll see you back at the farm someday. Remember, you always have a home here.

With all our love and gratitude,
