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.
