Aug. 31 - Sept. 2. Some reflections:

- Permaculture is not just about farming...it's a life you live. It's not just about the application of knowledge but the internalization of values.

- The designer and the design have a close relationship. Through experience and observation, the design evolves through time.

- People are part of the design. Every living thing is part of the design. Even typhoons are a welcome part of life.

- Nature has a way of organizing itself and the designer must understand how nature works.

- Permaculture design "follows the water". Where there's water, there's life. - Permaculture is planned "katam" or "katamaran" in Filipino. Once the system is in place, there isn't much work to do.

Glinoga Organic Farm opened our eyes to a lot of things. We don't even know where to start. Food is so abundant and creativity is overflowing. And the people in the farm really know what they're doing.

Thank you to our gracious hosts, Nenieveh Fortun Glinoga and Bittie Glinoga and the staff for taking care of our team.

This was a truly memorable experience for us. Watch out for PRPH Vlog Episode 1: Glinoga Organic Farm on January 2019.
