Two hectares of sloping,  fertile loamy soils. Came with mango, coconut, bamboo, papaya, duhat, and banana. We have since added cacao, guyabano (soursop), kalamansi, dragon fruit, pineapple, sampalok (tamarind), marang, and kaimito (starapple). Many of the trees are still young and yet to produce fruits.

We are also growing native trees like narra, langin, talisay, talubang, tipolo, and tugas/molave. And the lower valley portions are good for turmeric, taro/gabi, ube (purple yam), kangkong (water spinach) and kamote (sweet potatoes).

In the past the mangoes were “bomba” sprayed with potassium nitrate to induce out of season flowering. Unfortunately this practice is not compatible with our preferred organic methods and it seems to have messed up the trees’ hormonal balance with no natural flowering happening anymore. Any advice anyone?

Neighboring caretaker farmer Boboy does a great job managing and harvesting. Could use some more helping hands though.
