“My husband and I have always wanted a farm to call our own. We could see it as the perfect place for us to escape to,” recalls Munirah, who now lives on the farm with her husband and their eldest daughter, son-in-law and grandson.Creating a family haven “There was a lot of uncertainty at that time around the world. I wasn’t thinking about turning the land into a business but more of a place where our kids could escape to should something happen! I wasn’t even a good gardener, and knew next to nothing about farming. But I guess I was driven by fear!” shares Munirah, laughing at the recollection.
Says Munirah, “What you see now is almost to a tee of what I had imagined the place to be, down to the placement of every tree, flower and vegetable. In five years, most of the trees have grown to maturity. This is still a family farm. Our main objective is to be self-sufficient in terms of food, and lifestyle.”
They also built an additional single- storey structure that made for a simple home that family and friends could stay overnight when they came for a visit or as a homestay for paying guests.There are also educational farm tours and fun nature hunts that are conducted on the farm.“Not so much.
