Personal Experience

In our last visit to this farm, we brought our daughter with us, we explored the farm through a guided farm tour. My daughter delighted in feeding the animals and participating in crop harvesting and seeing the black pigs. We concluded our day with a peaceful picnic in a shaded area, surrounded by lush greenery. This trip not only brought us closer to nature but also to each other. I really love seeing my daughter enjoying nature, leaving us with cherished memories and a deeper appreciation for the origins of our food.
