ARVYK Eco-Farm

Welcome to ARVYK Eco-Farm — A Tranquil Organic Haven in the Hills of Isabela, Philippines

Escape the noise of the city and discover the beauty of simple, meaningful living. Nestled in the serene hills of rural Isabela, our farm is more than just a place to work , it’s a sanctuary where nature, community, and personal growth come together in harmony.
Here, you will experience the real rhythm of an organic farm. We practice natural, chemical-free farming methods guided by the seasons and the land itself. In return for the meals we provide, you’ll support our daily farming and livestock activities and if ever our food isn’t to your taste, you’re welcome to cook your own meals using our traditional firewood kitchen. We serve mostly organic, homegrown food, lovingly prepared as part of our advocacy to live in harmony with nature. And yes, we also have free Wi-Fi so you can stay connected while enjoying an off-the-grid lifestyle

What makes us special?

Authentic Organic Experience — Learn the full journey of farming: from cleaning, planting, and composting, to raising livestock and caring for the soil.
Hands-on Learning & Transformation — Gain practical skills while also reconnecting with yourself, finding calm, and nurturing a deeper respect for the earth.
Immersion in Local Life — Meet and interact with local residents, learn how they thrive in rural communities, and experience Filipino culture firsthand.
Peaceful & Private Spaces — Stay in our charming bamboo huts (mostly private rooms) with separate bathrooms and a rustic firewood kitchen surrounded by nature.

A Supportive, Family-like Community, Beyond the farm work, we love exchanging stories, laughter, and knowledge with our volunteers, building lasting friendships along the way.

Our farm is not a high-pressure, mono-culture workplace. Instead, think of it as a small learning sanctuary, a place to slow down, breathe, and reconnect with what truly matters. Volunteers are drawn here not just for the skills, but for the transformation: they leave with muddy hands, happy hearts, calmer minds, and a renewed appreciation for our planet.

So if you’re seeking a peaceful retreat where you can learn, grow, and be inspired. Welcome to our tranquil abode, where nature embraces you, time slows down, and every sunrise brings a new reason to smile.

The AEF team is passionate about sustainability. They are welcoming, knowledgeable, and committed to creating a positive learning environment. The staff includes experienced farmers, trainers certified by TESDA and ATI, and community advocates who are eager to share their expertise.

Our experience was extremely immersive; these are simple tasks that require a lot of effort. Tuguegarao is a northern province, so you'll have a real experience with Filipino culture, cuisine, festivals, and local markets. We thank our hosts for their hospitality.

Thank you so much, Nallive, for being part of our little corner of the world! We're so glad you embraced the immersive experience and took on each task with heart. It means a lot to us that you appreciated the culture, food, and local life here in the north. Hosting you and Nicolas was truly a pleasure. We're grateful for the moments shared and wish you both wonderful adventures ahead. You're always welcome back to our farm family!
