Javier Permaculture Farm
The experience
We are a small farm located in San Jose, Batangas. Our facility conducts seasonal farming workshops, on site or online. We have a dynamic farm that builds or unbuild structures, depending on need. We feature an off grid property that reminds people that resources are finite/ limited. We encourage you to connect with our farmhands and the immediate local community. We welcome suggestions but we also requests our guests to be mindful.

Program Details
We have a weekly vegetable planting actiivity. These veggies need watering every day. After a few days, they need to be outplanted in the plots, watered, and if you stay long enough, you will be able to harvest and consume the vegetables.\n\nWe have a few farm animals that need feeding. We do not encourae very close encounters with them since they treat you as strangers, so definitely no petting.\n\nWe would also appreciate if you take good care of our off grid hut and keep it clean and tidy at all times.
Activities & Shift
Aside from caring for our vegetables, we encourage you to harvest the fruits in the farm. You will be doing post harvest activities such as sorting or packing of our produce. We collect these and sell to the local market .\n\nYou are free to interact with the local communtiy and have some guided tour with our farm hands when they have available time. \n\nYou will have 3 days off a week and you may leave our facility but please leave an emergency contact number.
