    🌱we are a family farm of 2.5 acres. There are 5 of us in the family and together to divide the work in the farm which includes feeding chicken, ducks, fish, keeping the whole area trim and clean. We also manage the 2 guesthouses which we let out to guests from Malaysia and all over the world. We have hired help twice monthly to help trim some parts of our farm. We also have student interns from local universities which we provide accommodation and food allowance. They do some routine work as well as projects related to their field of study.
