DID YOU KNOW…

The name Humming Strawberry Farm or simply Humming Farm is a family owned farm whose name is a combination of the parent’s native Ifugao names – Huymoc and Umming. It is named as such in memory of the father’s love for music, always humming a tune while working or resting. It is at the same time named after a bird (the hummingbird) because pf a dream to make the farm into a bird sanctuary.

ADVOCACY

Humming Farm is a social enterprise aimed at employing widows, single parents, and ex-OFWs (Overseas Filipino Workers) to help uplift their living situation without leaving their families behind. With an ambitious goal of helping families to send their children to school, we work to one day establish a primary and secondary school within the farm vicinity that could uphold values-based teaching, discipline, respect, and meritocracy. It is not just to have working students in the farm, but also to help the parents send their children to school safely while they work nearby.

BACKSTORY

Two untitled lots originally owned by Umming Dulnuan, were sold to Moises Ramos in May 1996 for Ph 50,000.00 only. It was for supporting the family’s eldest daughter Isabel in her college study. She got a scholarship from the Department of Science and Technology (DOST) but finances were needed to set her up. The family was excited that the child was keen to go to school, so the father provided his best, accompanied his child to the City of Baguio, and placed here safely in a boarding house he himself found.

Fast forward to December 2016, the child grew up to be a Principal Systems Engineer for a German company and acquired the lots back from Mr. & Mrs. Ramos for a million pesos when they put it up for sale.
