Perma Culture Farm, Lenggong

We stayed at the farm for one night. Everything is basic. No hot water shower. No air-con. No TV. No WiFi. And light only came on when it was dark. And we LOVED it.

There was no boring moment in the house. We played scrabbles, chit-chatted, and of course, ate.

The first thing that caught my attention when we arrived was a water-melon hanging from a metal frame. And they were in abundance in this farm.



The afternoon was hot, so we took a dip at a nearby river. Large leaf turned into a hat.


The evening was cool. There were no street lamps. The moon seemed brighter here. The place was in complete silence, except the sound from insects and animals.

Lots of poultries and animals here. We helped feed the rabbits and chickens.



The kitchen was the soul of this place. Food was served here. We chatted with the volunteers from England and the lucky owners who own this piece of heaven on earth.




Cow dung was used as fertilizer. We accompanied the owners to pick vegetables for dinner, and freshly laid eggs for breakfast.



A sumptuous, nutritious meal, without chemicals.

 Lots of screams and laughter riding in this rickety old car up a narrow, uneven country road leading to the farm. I would not trade this experience, not for the world.



Peeping Moo Moo


We waited until the cow came home in the evening to take this picture.
Dogs and cats quickly became our friends. And the dog became our bodyguard when we hiked up the hill.



And if you forget to close the door of the house before you sleep, you will find the cats sleeping outside your bedroom the next morning.

  A morning walk to a waterfall. So refreshing.
