💧 Harvesting rain, sustaining life.

This rain catchment system is especially helpful during the dry season, particularly for seedlings and newly transplanted plants. With a capacity of 2,400 gallons, it can sustain one garden area for more than six weeks during a drought—and even longer with proper management.

To extend our water supply, we practice mulching and cover cropping to help retain soil moisture and reduce evaporation. We have also installed a similar system in our reforestation area.

In preparation for drought conditions, we dig holes near timber and fruit trees and fill them with a mixture of biochar and vermicast, then cover them with banana trunks. This improves the soil’s ability to hold and store water, making it more accessible to fruit trees and hardwood species during dry periods.

Additionally, we maintain a standby rainwater catchment system in the reforestation area to support manual watering of newly planted seedlings when needed. 💧🌱

🌿 Proper soil management makes all the difference.

After years of practicing Conservation Agriculture, the farm’s resilience is clearly visible. Despite intense heat and little to no rainfall, proper soil management has protected the land—allowing it to remain green and productive even weeks into the dry season. This living soil holds moisture, supports life, and proves that with the right practices, farms can adapt and thrive even under the harshest summer conditions. ☀️🚜

Let’s Taste the Fruits of Our Backyard Garden Project!

Today, we celebrated our harvest by cooking the vegetables we’ve grown as part of our mid-project evaluation. It was a fun time of cook-off—we unleashed the hidden chefs in the group!

We also took this opportunity to reflect on the impact of our FGB Project in the community. Participants were excited to share their learnings and new experiences. Many expressed gratitude for always having fresh vegetables available right in their backyards. One participant even shared, “Even at night, I’ll grab a flashlight just to harvest something for dinner!”

They also deeply appreciated the monthly training sessions and the meaningful stories shared—each one full of values and inspiration.

We’re also grateful to our wonderful judges who took the time to evaluate our cooking contest entries. Thank you, Ma’am Jeseca, Maam Tricia, and Ma’am Beneth, for your support and participation!
