Experience Sustainable Farming at Coron Natural Farms
If you’re seeking a unique travel experience that combines eco-tourism, sustainable farming, and a deep connection with nature, Coron Natural Farms is the place to be. Let Al Linsangan, an ecotourism advocate, take you on a tour of this exceptional farm, where you can learn to embrace the farm life even with minimal resources.
Living in Harmony with Nature
Coron Natural Farms is a testament to the beauty of sustainable living. The farm features three ponds that serve as homes to ducks, catfish (hito), and mudfish (dalag). What’s fascinating is that these ponds are entirely self-sufficient. The farm owners don’t need to feed the ducks, as their feces nourish the water and encourage algae growth, which, in turn, becomes food for the fish. Additionally, the overflow from these ponds irrigates a field aptly named “palayamanin.”
Tower Gardens: Maximizing Space and Resources
The farm’s commitment to sustainable farming extends to its innovative tower gardens. These gardens are a clever way to cultivate crops in minimal space. In the center of each drum, pipes are filled with worms and food waste from chickens, combined with manure and dried leaves. The rest of the drum is filled with soil, which gets naturally fertilized in the process. Remarkably, just five square meters of a tower garden can yield as many as 200 plants.
Abundant Egg Production
Coron Natural Farms is also home to chicken layers, which can yield up to two trays of eggs each day. This model of poultry farming showcases how sustainable practices can result in a bountiful harvest while minimizing resource use.
