Good food, a river, and your hands in the soil, an hour from Davao. You drive home lighter than you came.
Hold my Nature Day spot PHP 1,500 per person · the first public day at Flow Forest Farm
This is the way in. Flow Forest Farm · foot of Mount Tipolog
Not a crowded beach. Not an expensive resort that sells you the idea of nature behind glass. A real working farm, opening its gate for one day, to about thirty people who want to slow down, eat food grown that morning, get their hands a little dirty, and remember what quiet feels like.
One unhurried day, guided start to finish. Here is the shape of it.
We gather at a simple highway pickup point. No need to find the farm yourself. We bring you in together.
Walk the land with someone who knows it. Coconut groves, mangosteen trees, birdsong, and the river that this farm has protected for thirty years.
Shoes off. Cool earth and soft grass underfoot. It sounds small. It is the part most people remember.
Pick the queen of fruit straight from the tree, ripe and warm from the sun.
In season · August to September only
Every dish grown and cooked on the farm that day, over open fire, shared at one long table. Strangers at the start, friends by the last plate.
Nothing scheduled. Sit on a rock, dip your feet, read, nap, or just listen. This time is yours.
A gentle group game that turns up the volume on everything you stopped hearing in the city.
Stay for a soft music and reflection circle, or simply rest nearby. No pressure either way.
Round-trip transport brings you back to where you started. You leave with clean lungs, a full stomach, and a quieter mind.
This is not a stripped-down ticket with add-ons waiting at the gate. The whole day is in.
For reference, a nearby wellness resort charges about PHP 3,500 for a day with far less of a real farm in it. This is the honest version, at a kinder price.
We want you to come knowing exactly what this is, and exactly what it is not.
This is the first time the public is invited. The farm itself is anything but new.
In the 1990s, Arnold Vandenbroeck and Norma Javellana began tending this land at the foot of Mount Tipolog, not to profit from it, but to protect the watershed that feeds the valley below. They planted, they nurtured, and they let the forest come back.
Today Maya stewards the farm, carrying that same intention forward. Returning volunteers, including international ones, keep coming back to help, because the place does something to people. Now, for one day, you are invited in too.
Sustaining Intergenerational Equity. Caring for the land so the next generation inherits more than we did, not less.
Returning volunteers, from Davao and abroad, come back season after season to work this land. People do not return to a place that does not give something back.
You could be one of the first thirty to write one.
No filters, no staging. This is the farm on an ordinary working morning, the food it grows, and the table it sets.
The things people actually worry about, answered plainly.
About thirty people get to be part of the first one. Tell us where to reach you and we will confirm your seat, the date, and your pickup point.
We cap it on purpose. A small group is the whole experience.
The table is already being set. August 2026 · mangosteen season
An hour from Davao, the river is already running, and the table is being set. There is room for about thirty of you.
