Description
We are a couple of retirees who started an acre of self sufficient farm. We grow all kinds of fruit trees. Fruits are mainly for our own family consumption. If there is an excess, we sell the produce. So we need help to maintain the fruit farm which also has some free range chicken, a goose and a dog. This farm is located in the outskirt of Ipoh town, Perak, Malaysia.
