Farms: Integrated Farm Project in Tigaon, Philippines
Productivity | Information | History | View | Quality
Have a look to our newly established vegetable and calamansi farm in Tigaon, Camarines Sur. For many years we made little agricultural experiments as a sideline hobby. In August 2008 we started our pilot farm in barangay Caracayon. As of December 2009 there are about 3,5 hectars calamansi (Lemmon) trees and 1 hectar of different vegetables planted. 3 hectars are still idle while 8 hectars are rainfed palay (Rice) paddies. Our target is to establish in the coming years a completely integrated farm with animals, farm shop, dryer, food processing facillities, research unit etc. In our opinion this is the best way for small farmers to stay competitive in the globalized world. We are practising a combination of organic and conventional farming. Target is to harvest when prices are high. This is a very complicated venture during rainy season but so far we where able to solve most of the common problems like fungus, stagnant water, bacterial wilt, taiphoon damages etc. If you like to visit the farm or if you have any questions or suggestions please contact me at info@bicolshop.com or have a look to our project - homepage http://www.buddel.de/kft/en/index.htm Update: By September 2010 we are planning a new video because in the meantime there have been many new features at the farm. Best regards from Tigaon, Jochen Binikowski

@grcenp we're the same situation except mine is at another location, what I do is check what kind of crops can grow in your area(think soil specifics: type, ph, etc..), that means you have to go visit your land first and survey!

i think it's better to plant madre de cacao on the land's perimeter...madre de cacao, together with banana trunk/husk, is used as feed for the african night crawlers in vermicomposting...vermicomposting is a great source of organic fertilizer if you want to switch in organic farming 100%...

I wonder if we can exchange some experience. We work under tropical rainforest conditions, but your experience would be interesting for us. See our videos, maybe this is something interesting for you too. Thanks for all the information you have on your videos. Greetings - Chilis from the forest - DaMata
