>Tropical Organic Agriculture Farm Apprenticeship
>Herbana Farms
>6  Month Residential Position
>
>Herbana Farms (Philippines), a tropical  diversified organic farm
>specializing in the production of culinary and  medicinal herbs, salad
>greens, Asian and specialty vegetables, cut flowers,  natural  free-range
>chickens and tilapia aquaculture is currently  accepting applications for
>our
>2004-2005 six-month apprenticeship  on  our newly set-up 10-acre organic
>production and demonstration farm.   Our farm focuses on organic production
>for the local farmers market  and CSA (Community Supported Agriculture),
>and
>serving as a training venue  for organic farmers.  Our sustainable
>agriculture practices focus on  Natural Farming technology using beneficial
>indigenous microorganisms,  enzymes and biological nutrients, including
>Indigenous Knowledge,  Biodynamics, French Intensive, Agroecology and
>Permaculture.
>
>The farm  is located on a 10-acre property with 4-acre dedicated to herb,
>vegetable  and flower gardens.  The rest are intended for  production
>modules
>
>for natural free-range chickens, tilapia aquaculture and tropical fruit
>orchard.  Integrated to the farm is a Life Lab (organic educational  garden
>for kids), solar showers, spas and sauna, including the community  farm
>center where the kitchen and dining, restrooms, storage room and the
>farm’s
>apprentices’ quarters are located.  In the same area is our  propagation,
>greenhouse, hoof house, hardening area and plant nursery.   There are four
>separate greenhouses where we grow mainly vegetables as  protected from the
>rains.    Our schedule for this farm  apprenticeship is from November to
>April which translates to a cooler to  dry  time of the year.
>
>We are about 30 miles south of Manila.   The farm is located on a slightly
>rolling and hilly elevation near the old  sugar central of  Canlubang with
>panoramic views of Tagaytay Ridge (a  major Philippine tourist
>destination),
>the famous Mt. Makiling and Laguna de  Bay, Mt. Malarayat and Maculot of
>Batangas province.
>
>As part of the  Apprenticeship program, we encourage apprentices to
>participate on  countryside tours and community immersions.  Currently,  we
>are  working on community immersion  with indigenous peoples of  the famous
>rice terraces of northern Philippines.  You will have the chance to  spend
>some time, living and working with the Ifugaos and Bontocs of the  Mountain
>Province.  A local tour, two hours from the farm will bring  the
>apprentices
>to the island resort of Puerto Galera, Mindoro known for its  23 dive sites
>–
>scuba, snorkeling, including natural trekking and visit of  the Mangyan
>(indigenous people) village of the island
>
>Who May  Apply
>
>Prior gardening and farming experience is helpful but not  necessary.
>However, a strong desire to learn and keen interest in  hands-on gardening
>and farming is essential.  We are looking for  self-motivated,
>self-starting
>people.  The Apprenticeship will involve  all aspects of organic production
>including propagation and greenhouse work,  watering, bed prep, composting,
>transplanting and sowing, weeding,  harvesting and seed saving and
>processing, including related functions in  the care and maintenance of our
>small livestock free-range chickens and  tilapia aquaculture.  Physical
>stamina is necessary.
>
>This is a  wonderful opportunity to learn practical skills that will
>develop
>for the  use for the rest of your life!
>
>Welcome to the tropical organic  agriculture Apprenticehip at Herbana
