“Jensen Kinder Farm is an organic backyard farm that offers training on practical urban farming for children and adults.”
Stacy Borromeo, owner of JKF, wants to help promote organic farming through her mini-farm by opening her backyard to the public. With Jensen Kinder Farm, she can now educate people by teaching farming methods and techniques to children and adults for their urban houses. She aims to raise awareness about organic farming and hopes to inspire people to become organic consumers so that there will be more demand for organic products and support organic farmers in return.
Below is a photo-blog of the fun farming adventure we had last weekend :)
Kids and adults got to tour the farm and the kids experienced some of the things farmers do every day such as feeding the chicken, collecting eggs, watering the plants and harvesting. The kids also learned how to use farming tools (and actually try using them).
Furthermore, the kids learned how to grow plants through cuttings. They also designed their own planter, which they used for the herb that was given to them to take home.
As part of the farm tour package, each kid was given a farm kit that they can practice on when they get home.
Jensen Kinder Farm is conveniently located in Quezon City – location is so close, making it a perfect weekend bonding activity for the whole family.
