Descrição
Experience life on a durian farm in Balik Pulau, Penang, Malaysia.
Ours is a family of 3, running a durian farm with 2 permanent helpers. As such, there will be other people around while you are surrounded by beautiful lush greenery.
So what is a durian? It is a delectable sweet creamy fruit that most people have a love or hate relationship with. Most Malaysians love them! We also have other fruit trees so this is something you will get to try when you're here. Durian main season is from mid May to mid July while minor season is from mid Nov to mid Jan.
The farm can be pretty laid back and there will also be tasks to complete. We ask that you keep to the work schedule and some basic guidelines.
Malaysia is a humid and warm country so this is something you need to get used to, along with the mosquitoes. All rooms are equipped with fans. Please arrive with what you need to weather the climate and the critters.
We provide 3 meals a day and ask that you eat what we eat. We are unable to cater for specific diets such as vegans, halal, diabetic and coeliacs. Our breakfasts can vary from eggs, bread, biscuits, local staples and fruit with coffee in the morning.
Lunch is noodles, often served with water or from farm fruit juice along with local fruits, if any. Dinner is rice with a variety of protein and vegetable dishes.
Maximum stay is a week subject to availability. Please note our orchard is a smoke free zone and we place high priority on cleanliness, hygiene and energy conservation.
Btw, we have 9 dogs for company and if you are in luck, you may spot a few monkeys. We also have fish, monitor lizards and there are a wide variety of birds with gorgeous plumage that carry a wide ensemble of birdsong. -
