Habilin Farms

Habilin Farms is a hub for both agro-education and community empowerment in the Philippines, offering workshops, training, and hands-on experiences in permaculture and sustainable living.

Founded by a small group of like-minded individuals, the farm started as a modest initiative to grow organic produce while practicing regenerative farming methods. Located in the rural landscapes of Tayabas, Quezon, the farm sits on fertile land surrounded by rich biodiversity and native flora, making it an ideal hub for permaculture. Over time, Habilin Farms evolved into a model of eco-tourism and community empowerment, offering immersive experiences like bamboo workshops, forest camping, and farm-to-table meals.

Since its founding, the farm has made some significant achievements, including:

  • Building a strong connection with local farmers through the Organic Farmers’ Association.
  • Supporting small scale farmers through projects like the Farm-to-Tray Project, a collaboration with local hospitals that provides healthy, chemical-free vegetables from organic farmers.
  • Implementing a locally focused organic certification scheme (known as a Participatory Guarantee System).
  • Successfully lobbying for the passing of a city ordinance institutionalising organic agriculture in Tayabas.
  • Conducting several permaculture workshops and creating opportunities for eco-conscious visitors to engage in nature-based activities.

Its ongoing initiatives aim to expand organic agriculture, eco-tourism, and community-based projects, further establishing Habilin Farms as a pioneer in sustainable development and regeneration in the region.
