What we do

Pouik Pouik Farm is an experimental ecofarm and circular living lab nestled in the lush landscapes of Sabah, Borneo. Born from a desire to transform underused land into a living laboratory, our farm explores practical, low-tech solutions that connect humans, animals, and plants in resilient, circular systems.
From compost toilets that nourish the soil, to self-composting cat litter, rocket stoves, and flood-resilient techniques, every element is designed to demonstrate sustainable, regenerative living in action. Our small sanctuary for rescued animals is cared for using holistic medicine, plants, and natural remedies, reflecting our commitment to all forms of life.
Pouik Pouik Farm is a place for students, researchers, and curious minds to learn through experience, experiment freely, and share knowledge. Our principles are simplicity, authenticity, circularity, and resilience.
Through hands-on practice, storytelling, and playful content, we aim to inspire communities to adopt practical solutions for sustainable living. Our aspiration is to connect with other ecovillages, fostering a network of regenerative practices across Asia and beyond.

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.
