About Green Earth
Mission and Vision
GreenEarth Heritage Foundation is a farm, a burgeoning reforestation site, a sustainable agricultural development, a haven of peace and tranquility, and a promise of a better tomorrow for members of our growing community.
We were founded on May 22, 2009, upon receiving a donation of over 100 hectares (>246 acres) of land at the bucolic foothills of the longest mountain range of the Philippines, the Sierra Madres, in the historic town of San Miguel, Bulacan. We are about 2.5 -3 hours drive north of the Philippine Capital Region. Our location provides the potential to serve as an important food basket for the growing urban metropolis. We are a potential showcase of environmental restoration, livelihood opportunity, education and technology.
Our MISSION is to preserve the environment, to adhere to sound and sustainable agricultural practices and to help in the alleviation of poverty through livelihood, education and community development.
It is our VISION to build a model eco-farming community on our land donation, skillfully master planned to allow for future-allocated areas for forests, schools, parks, marketplaces, sports and recreational facilities, and community training centers, to name a few, all for the benefit of indigent farming families who have decided to hinge their life’s hopes for a brighter future on our mission and programs.
Core Values
We are Christian
We acknowledge One God:Father, Son and Holy Spirit. In Jesus Christ alone we have the promise of salvation. We seek to follow Jesus in His teachings to nurture and protect all of God’s gifts, in His respect for the dignity of all men, in His call to love others as ourselves, and in His offer of abundant life to those who choose to follow Him.
We are Stewards
The resources at our disposal are not our own. They are entrusted by God, therefore, we are committed to sound and sustainable agricultural practices that will preserve and protect the environment.
We Believe in the Dignity of Every Human Being
We believe in prioritizing education as part of the long-term solution towards alleviating poverty and are committed to helping our workers and beneficiaries fulfilll their dreams through fair trade and a housing plan right on GreenEarth’s land donation.
We Promote Good Health
The Bible teaches in 1 Corinthians 6:19 that “the body is the temple of the Holy Spirit”. We, therefore, have to make choices that will enhance wellness and prevent disease.
Guiding Principles
Ecology
The planet earth along with its ecosystems and natural cycles are all interrelated. Everything we do has a consequence to our environment.
Fairness
Those who supply food to our tables are often the poorest of the poor. We believe in helping our farmers and agricultural workers receive fair compensation for the important work that they do.
Christ-Centered Community
Motivated by our faith in the LORD and Savior Jesus Christ, we desire to build a Community of Hope whose families are devoted to following the life and teachings of Jesus Christ. We believe that it is Christ who will bring transformation, hope and a bright future to the people in the community as they establish and enrich their relationship with Him. We desire to see a community centered in His love and truth as we set an example though our service and dedication.
Health
We are what we eat! We must invest in the health of our soils. Everything else will follow.
