Spent my last 23 years in the city, it was my first time walking on a farm and did some work. David's farm is approximately 100 acres in size that keep sheep, cow, chickens, fruits and vegetable. He is now working on 'whole-farm planning' that encourages different activities to happen in the farm that benefits each other. For example, cow eat grass while its poo fertilize the grass; chicken pick up the pest that damage the plantation.
The day was really fun as we had the opportunity to stay close to the animals and helping to clean up the mess in the greenhouse. Then we spent some time in David's cozy home having tea. To our surprise, we were given the opportunity to design a farm house that promotes hospitality and farm production at the end of the day.
