They have also experienced the appropriate method and application of the various farming techniques on organic swine production locally developed in the Binhi sa Panginabuhian Farm called MARIBOY, and the organic poultry production, MARINOK.

The members of the Eskaya exhibited curiosity in developing positive attitudes towards healthy and sustainable farming, which is one of the objectives of the training.
