Program Details

Cabiokid Foundation Permaculture Farm is a permaculture model farm and place of learning in the Philippines, aiming to promote sustainable living and to support the local community via a farmers co-op, and responsible tourism activities.

Activities & Shift

Work-wise, usually 5-6 hours of work per day, depending on projects & weather. The day starts with breakfast and a morning meeting.

Then, depending on the season, work includes infrastructure (natural building, earthworks, woodwork) and/or gardening every day. They do their own compost, and a lot of time is also spent maintaining the place, cleaning, caring for plants & animals, etc., so expect very varied work, but a great learning experience.

Rules

Useful items to bring: A mosquito repellent, a torch/head light, a hat/cap, suitable working boots or shoes and flip-flops are a must, as well as a good dose of positive energy!
