What we do

Buntong Bukid is an intentional eco-village nestled in the highlands of Bukidnon, Philippines. It is designed as a national prototype for regenerative development — integrating permaculture design, forest regeneration, off-grid infrastructure, and community wealth-sharing.
The community brings together climate-conscious families, local staff, and visiting guests in a living system where nature, food, shelter, and care are interwoven. The 30-hectare site includes a 2-hectare food-producing farm, a 2.5-hectare rewilded forest zone, and bamboo-built housing units: 30 farm apartments, 24 duplex villas, and 9 treehouses. All structures are designed with renewable materials and closed-loop systems — including solar power, rainwater harvesting, compost toilets, and community biogas.
At the heart of the village is a circular economy framework. Residents may join a managed “Village Hosting Program” to welcome visitors, while local staff are offered training, housing, and benefits. Together, we aim to demonstrate a replicable model for climate resilience, food security, and ecological stewardship — aligned with all 17 Sustainable Development Goals.
Buntong Bukid is currently in the early build phase with core systems underway. We are targeting EDGE certification and are proud to be part of the GENOA network of ecovillages in the Oceania and Asia region.

Social Media Intern for GEN International Hours: Up to 20/month, flexible around your schedule and availability Location: Remote, work with Eva Goldfarb Focus: Instagram + LinkedIn (TikTok if you’re into it!) Hi! I’m Eva, and I run social media for GEN International — the global network connecting ecovillages, intentional communities, and regenerative culture-builders across every continent. I’m looking for a co-conspirator to help me tell the stories of the people quietly building the future: off-grid villages in the Philippines, permaculture farms in Senegal, urban cohousing projects in Berlin, elders passing down land wisdom in the Andes. It’s a wildly rich, wildly underrepresented world, and I want more people to fall in love with it the way I have. What you’ll actually do: Dream up and create content for Instagram and LinkedIn (reels, carousels, stories, captions that don’t sound like a corporate newsletter) Dig into our global network and turn your findings into stories people want to share Pitch your own ideas. If there’s a series, a theme, a format, or a corner of the network that lights you up, that’s what I want you to focus on. What we’re looking for: A natural storyteller, someone who can spot the human thread in a project update or a photo from a faraway village Genuinely curious about ecovillages, sustainability, intentional community, regenerative living Self-motivated and communicative; this is a flexible, trust-based role Why this role: This isn’t a “post 3x a week and don’t ask questions” internship. You’ll have real creative freedom to work on what excites you, learn how a global grassroots network tells its story, and build a portfolio full of meaningful, purpose-driven content. Plus you’ll be talking to people living some of the most interesting, intentional lives on the planet. If storytelling for a better world sounds like your kind of fun, let’s talk.
