>>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!
>>
