Farm and Sector Mapping at Jessie’s Sunshine Farm

At Jessie’s Sunshine Farm, mapping is more than a documentation — it’s the backbone of our agroforestry system and the key to long-term sustainability. Every section, tree row, and access road is strategically planned to balance productivity, ecology, and maintenance. Here we document the intercropping maps of our sectors.

Workers can efficiently track weeding, pruning, pest treatment, curing of diseases, and harvest schedules. Each tree is mapped for easy monitoring, allowing data-driven management that saves time and reduces inputs. This structure transforms daily farm operations into a coordinated, traceable system.

Sectoring the farm

Our farm divides into 20 labeled and defined sectors. Each sector has its unique crops. Basically, all of them have coconuts as their first canopy, planted mostly in triangular and two sectors also planted in square pattern. As the second canopy, we have been planting fruit trees during Phase 3. These fruit trees are value fruit trees. Hybrids or grafted ones. They have been planted in the mid point between two coconut trees. Correct pruning will be important here. The third canopy is defined as two interlining rows between the coconuts trees. These two extra rows are spaced at an 3 meter distance. Within these interlines we space crops at 3 meters distance from each other. In this setup we have a 3 meter access in between two line. Great for small farm vehicles.

Labelling the Rows

Each row has a label for identification containing a sector name and a row number. All trees are counted outwards from the label. Hence LHS Row 4 CNT 2, translates into Lower Hybrid Section, row 4, Coconut tree #2. In this way trees that need treatment can be identified easily.

Than all access road, some main roads and some just for maintenance access have names. Later they will get street signs. You can find the street maps here too.

Naming Our Roads

Naming our access roads — such as West Barangay Road Section, Upper Hybrid Section North, Pig Road, and Divine Couple Road — brings logistical clarity. Deliveries, harvesting teams, and emergency responses are guided safely and efficiently through clearly identified routes.

🗺️Summary – Why Mapping Matters

1️⃣ Organized Agroforestry Design

• 20 clearly defined sectors for coconuts, fruit trees, and livestock.
• Promotes efficient use of sunlight, soil, and water.

2️⃣ Precision in Maintenance

• Labeled rows, like UHSN 4-7 or LHS 7-2, streamline weeding, pruning, pest treatment, curing diseases, and harvesting.
• Enables accurate recordkeeping and input tracking.

3️⃣ Sustainable Resource Management

• Mapping guides irrigation, compost application, and nutrient cycles.
• Reduces chemical waste and prevents erosion.

4️⃣ Road and Access Coordination

• Named routes (West Access Road, Northern Valley Road, , Divine Couple Road, Pig Road, etc) ensure safe and efficient transport.
• Critical for logistics and emergency response.

5️⃣ Climate Resilience and Research

• Supports contour farming, biodiversity monitoring, and soil health analysis.
• Forms are a living record for future planning and adaptation.

6️⃣ Faith-Based Stewardship

• Mapping expresses responsible dominion — caring wisely for God’s creation.
• Every labeled sector and path reflects gratitude and purpose in farming.
