Looking to spread their sustainable business philosophies to more people, the Gawad Kalinga Enchanted Farm is offering various Social Business Camp programs for the month of June. One of the many courses you can take is the Food and Beverage course. The knowledge and experience gained from this program ranges from managing crops, to making sophisticated food products such as organic cheese, infused tea, and even gourmet pasta dishes.
The Enchanted Farm is a community located in Angat, Bulacan, which helps marginalized families develop into a self-sustaining, and socially responsible members of our community. It is an off-shoot of the Gawad Kalinga (GK) program, which aims to uplift the lives of impoverished people in a permanent and concrete way.
Gawad Kalinga is also well-known for developing high quality products. The Human Nature brand and Bayani Brew beverages are both partners of the group. Their experience with developing such brands led GK to establish the farm as a flagship facility to enhance the group’s social business models. Its continuing success demonstrates that helping impoverished families rise up from the mire is not only morally right but also a feasible business venture.
The camp is held over a weekend, and you get to be trained by Filipino and European social entrepreneurs who are experts in the field. The Enchanted Farm itself is a testament to the knowledge and skill of these people, as it features the same principles the social business camp wants to share with you. From the way the farm manages its agriculture and up to the finished product, the operations are done with minimum impact to the environment and with maximum benefit to the community and its business partners.
Aside from the Food and Beverage courses, the camp also offers a chance to explore industries such as Health and Wellness, Social Tourism, Architecture, and Interior design. All are actual practiced businesses inside the farm.
The camp dates are June 1-2, June 15-16, and June 29-30, you can opt to choose a weekend or try out the whole six weekend camp. All the activities are going to be at the Enchanted Farm. If you’d like to know more, check out their facebook site.
