Down on the farm


Daruma Farm might only be 2 acres, but they are 2 beautifully maintained and thought-out acres that have inspired us as we move along our path of sustainable agriculture.  While we only got to spend a week there we had a wonderful time thanks to the hospitality of all- Neil, Troy, Nang, Choat and Am!  We shared all of our meals together and got to try many new Thai dishes like morning glories.   Am taught us how to make them and now they are our new favorite, and so easy!  While work on the farm is not all glamor (like the rock hauling) we did get to get our hands dirty initiating a new composting system, watering, mulching, harvesting food, and helping with the building plans.  We learned from their experiences and shared our own and filled the nights with our nose in their great library or with great conversations with Troy and Neil.  We wish you guys the best!
