Biodiverse farming with trees on Siquijor Island
in the Philippines
agroecology - permaculture - agroforestry - organic
We mix fruit trees, hardwoods, bamboos, and crops in systems that emulate nature more. Please get in touch if you would like to share experiences.
Agroecology - applying ecological principles.
Agroforestry - trees in the farming system.
Permaculture - more of nature’s own ways.
Organic - no synthetic chemicals
We have three different plots on Siquijor Island: Tugas Reserve, Solangon Garden, and Ytaya Valley, all at different stages of development and management.
You can read more on the “Our Farms” page which we regularly update.
