At Carob Farms, we’re embarking on a transformative journey, redefining our relationship with soil. Moving away from the conventional agricultural approach that often sees soil merely as a medium for chemical fertilizers, we embrace the concept of soil as a living, breathing entity capable of regenerating its own fertility. Our number one priority? Bringing life […]

In recent years, our team has embarked on a journey to deepen our understanding of Permaculture and its transformative design principles. We see Permaculture as a holistic approach that offers sustainable solutions in our interaction with nature and in fulfilling our needs. Essentially, it’s a blend of art and science that guides us in designing […]

Following on last week’s instagram post post regarding volunteering at the farm, here are some more information: At this stage, this isn’t a formal volunteering program. It is rather a more casual opportunity for those willing to extend a helping hand on the farm, following in the spirit of indeginous farming communities whereas members used […]

The idea of the food scraps recycling initiative came by as we started to pilot eggs delivery to households in Amman. We wanted to offset the greenhouse gases emitted when food is transported to nearby cities and also bring back to our farming system valuable organic material that can basically turn into compost and support […]

To produce a healthy egg very little is needed in terms of structural material and machinery because chicken live in within a natural system and in reasonable numbers. Their diet is natural and comes mostly from the site itself, and they are free of hormones and antibiotics. They are humanely integrated and provided with a […]

زيتوناتنا زرعوا في العشرينات من القرن الماضي ومن وقتها يعتنى فيهم بشكل طبيعي و طبعا بدون استخدام أي أسمدة أو مبيدات كيميائية. يضاف الكومبوست الذي ننتجه في المزرعة من مواد عضوية مرة بالسنة و نتركهم يرتووا من خير السما

Well that’s because it really isn’t. If 1 to 2 cubic meters of organic compost is enough fertility to grow food to feed 1 person for a whole year, we can easily produce enough nutritious food to feed everyone. We certainly do not lack the resources and do not need to spend a penny on […]

We’ve been hosting an aquaponics project for the past 15 months. The idea is to have a deeper insight into such inventive systems and inspect the efficacy and quality of the solutions that they typically promise. Although I am not a fan of soil-less agriculture, but I wanted to see for myself and be able […]

Soil is the basis of life on Earth. Not only does it have the capacity to store carbon, nitrogen and countless beneficial minerals to grow nourishing foods, it also holds THE solution to solve Global Warming once and for all! (more on that later) A spoon of healthy soil has over 9 billion microorganism. That […]

In 2018 I read a book titled “The One-Straw Revolution” by Masanobu Fukuoka, an interesting Japanese farmer/philosopher. I can’t exactly recall what led me to this book but I am just glad I did as it opened my eyes to the abundant world of natural farming. One book led to another, my passion started to […]
