Near the entrance of the farm stands a bamboo house that provides shower facilities, a kitchen and an open dining place. The house has been constructed using indigenous building materials and practices. An in-house library offers reading materials related to sustainable development. The upper floors function as extra sleeping areas or space for small group sessions. All toilets at the facilities are compost toilets that provide much needed organic matter for the farm. All waste water coming from toilets and washing areas is treated and recycled near or around the facilities.
For two years, Cabiokid added multifunctional buildings, not only to accommodate trainees but also to serve as an area for weekend visitors who want escape the busy life of the city and experience nature at its best.
The Cabiokid gardens are continuously being upgraded and planted with a variety of edible and usefull plant species for humans and animals alike. The vegetable area is carefully planted with native vegetables following concepts such as ; crop rotation, using legumes to fix nitrogen, alternate planting, intercropping, and different composting methods.
An ample portion of Cabiokid is dedicated to our native trees ranging from fast-growing, native, to the endemic Philippine hardwoods that we can only find in our forests. We believe that our native trees and plants play significant roles in our social fabric. These trees are irresponsibly logged in the heart of our forests and are in danger of losing some of its species. All of the trees that were planted during the beginning of Cabiokid is just nine years of age or less. Some of them are towering as 10 to 15 meters tall already. Using rainforestation methods and careful understanding and observation of nature, a man-made forest was born and is continually being added with more of the native trees coming from different areas in the Philippines.
