About FarmOn.ph
FarmOn.ph is a crowdfunding community where people can help farmers on their financial
needs and at the same time reap rewards for their contributions. FarmOn.ph was developed by
Sproads, a web publishing company based in Manila.
Established in 2014, and a pioneer in the integration of new technology. FarmOn.ph has
developed its own concept in reintroducing farming with the use of social media and online
applications; thru virtual farming. People who wanted to engage in farming but has no time can
now participate and help by financing our partners at their own expenses.
FarmOn.ph currently owns 96 hectares of farmland property which we use for farming. These
farms are managed by our partners and local farmers and are located in Isabela and Quirino
Province. The farms that were tilled are all properties of FarmOn.ph.
Our farmers provides man-power in the operation of the farms. They make sure that the crops
and livestocks are properly taken care off. They also assists us in maintaining our farms by
keeping it clean, safe and livable.
Through FarmOn, we were able to help our farmers in their financial needs by providing them
capital through the community of crowdfunders. We have helped them and have guided them in
finding the right markets for the products they produce. We provide them with advance
methodologies and techniques (to further enrich the knowledge and enhance the skills of our
farmers) which were introduced and developed by those who are dedicated to the craft.
Agriculturist from the Department of Agriculture and farm professionals are also working with us
hand-in- hand. They give advices and techniques on proper soil management, breeding and
raising livestocks, crop protection, environmental sustainability, farm diseases, and harvesting.
With the technical assistance and thru the fundings of our crowdfunders, we were able to help
our farmers.
THE IDEA
In this modern age where technology has become more advanced, people’s way of living and
thinking has been affected. And so was their views and opinions.
Our generation has viewed farming as a lowly occupation. The call for industrialization and
modernization has become “so great” even farmer’s themselves abandon this occupation just to
chase their “American Dreams”. We aim to alleviate this misconception of people about farming,
with the help of FarmOn.ph.
Our continuous growth and success and our driven passion in introducing farming with the aid
of modern technology; thru the use of social media sites and applications, has ensured that
online farming can be a profitable business.
This is why FarmOn.Ph was created. We wanted to help farmers have a stable livelihood and
income. We aim to reintroduce farming to every Filipino’s around the world. We aim to bring
FarmOn closer to your home and to your heart.
FarmOn.ph lets you experience the best of both worlds.
CROWDFUNDING at FarmOn.ph-how it works?
FarmOn.ph uses the concept of crowdfunding in assisting our farmers. How does crowdfunding
works?
In every cycle FarmOn will open a new project, which will then be funded by the contributions
given by our crowdfunding community. Our crowdfunders will then choose a specific product
from the list which FarmOn will be posting. With the aid of the given contribution, our farmers
can start the production.
Members who have given their contribution for that project will receive reward only if the project
has been deemed successful. Each community members must also acknowledge the risks
involved in farming. Factors like climate change and natural disasters are some of the risks
involved.
HOW WE MANAGE RISK?
Profits are not guaranteed but risks are managed!
With the equipment of new methodologies and techniques in farming, we were able to enhance
the production of our products. Easy to grow lowland crops and vegetables (such as papaya,
petsay, string beans, legumes, varieties of pepper and others) are our main products. Along
with crops, livestocks (such as pigs, goats, ducks, and chickens) are being domesticated.
How do we manage climate change and natural disasters?
FarmOn.ph has its ways on battling climate change and natural disasters. Take for example El
Niño (a natural occurring phenomenon which causes warming. This warming causes a shift in
the atmospheric circulation with rainfall becoming reduced over the areas affected), FarmOn
has built water its own reservoirs to facilitate this issue. It enables our farmers to water the
plants despite of water scarcity.
La Niña is also another occurring phenomenon. It is the counterpart of El Niño. This
phenomenon causes heavy rains which leads to massive flooding’s on affected areas. FarmOn
builds drainage canals to expel the excess waters accumulating. This ensures that the plant
won’t drown and be destroyed. Some of our farms are strategically located on high areas to
avoid the effects of La Niña.
We also planted guard plants which protects our crops from strong wind currents which can
destroy our plants.
Despite the changing seasons, FarmOn will continue to develop and look for solutions, in
battling the serious effects of climate change.
If in case the farm has been devastated by natural calamities; (such as earthquakes, storms,
flooding’s, and uncontrolled pestilence) FarmOn will replant crops as well as raise livestock
again to ensure that the community’s demand will be met.
