We do most of our land preparation using water buffalo or hand tools. The buffalo are not only our 'tractor', they also provide one of the main ingredients for the compost pile.       
 
 
 
The plant nursery where it all begins. We grow 17 kinds of fruit, many varieties of vegetables and rice. 
 
 
 
 
It is important in our tropical climate that the young plants have shade.




 
 
Jackfruit are the largest fruit in the world.

We are currently constructing  tanks  to grow duckweed in. The duckweed will be used to feed the fish  and, of course, the ducks.
We are also constructing a closed Aquaponics system that grows vegetables hydroponically utilizing fish waste. The fish feed the plants and the plants clean the fish tank water. A complete ecosystem!
 

The new aquaponics system, almost finished!
