Converting a convetional farm to a natural farm is not an easy task.
But for sure, it's worth the effort.

Our Feed Pond (Duckweed+Ducks)


 First we have the feed garden now we have the feed pond - An accidental feed pond that used to be Bio-Gas for our swine manure. It's not operational now so we just let the rain water fill it up. It's about 30 feet deep!! We can harvest up to 200kg a day to feed our pigs, rabbits and chickens. It is known that duckweed contains as much as 11-48% Crude protein, very viable for livestock feed. Let us thank mother nature for this free food.
