Exciting News: The Second Kobo is Coming!

Hey there, fellow nature lovers and adventure seekers! 🌿 I’ve got some thrilling news to share about our little slice of paradise. We’re gearing up to build the second Kobo, and it’s going to be a fantastic addition to our farm experience!

Location, Location, Location!

The first Kobo is nestled under the Mango Tree of the White Lady, a perfect spot for relaxation and enjoying nature. But wait until you hear about the second one! This new A-Frame Kobo will be perched on the West Cliff, giving you breathtaking views of the coconut trees swaying in the valley below. Imagine sipping your morning coffee while soaking in the stunning scenery!

A Cozy Retreat

This Kobo isn’t just about the views; it’s designed for comfort and relaxation. Here’s what you can expect:

  • Size: The Kobo will measure 3×4 meters, providing a cozy space for you to unwind.
  • Patio: It will feature an 8 sqm patio (or Balcon) where you can lounge and soak up the sun.
  • Soaking Bath: We’re adding a small soaking bath sourced by rainwater, perfect for those sunset moments. Picture yourself relaxing in the tub as the sky transforms into a canvas of colors!

Nature’s Privacy Screen

In just a year, the surrounding trees will grow to create a beautiful privacy screen, making your stay even more intimate. You’ll feel like you’re in your own little world, away from the hustle and bustle. Plus, our friendly goats will be nearby, adding to the charm of the animal farm experience. It’s like a mini getaway where you can connect with nature and animals!

Rain or Shine

Worried about the weather? Don’t be! The soaking tub and patio will be covered by a roof, allowing you to enjoy your retreat even when it’s raining. Whether it’s a sunny day or a cozy rainy afternoon, you’ll have the perfect spot to relax and recharge.

Details for Welding the Corners

All corners and also wall assemblies will be pinned and welded with 10 mm to prevent wind and sheer forces from moving elements. Here is how we do it.

Join Us on This Journey!

We’re super excited about this new Kobo and can’t wait to welcome you to this unique experience. It’s all about creating a space where you can escape, unwind, and enjoy the beauty of nature. So, keep an eye out for updates as we bring this vision to life!

How to Progress to a Simple Office Building

Life on the farm is always busy.

And we’re excited to share a small update about a recent Office Building development. We are in the process of converting our orchidarium into an administrative building. This might seem like a simple change, but it represents an important step in the growth and organization of our operations.

What will happen to our Orchids

Our beautiful orchids will find a new place where we can nurture them to create a serene environment filled with vibrant colors and refreshing scents. However, as our farm continues to expand, we realized the need for a dedicated space for our office and reception area.

Transitioning space to Improve Administration

Converting this space into an Admin Building will allow us to streamline our administrative tasks and better serve our visitors. While this change may not be particularly groundbreaking, it is another important module in the puzzle of our farm’s development. Having a centralized location for our administrative work will enhance communication and efficiency, making it easier for us to manage our activities and connect with customers and partners. As we work on this renovation, we are excited about the opportunities it will bring. We anticipate that the new administrative building will not only improve our operations but also create a welcoming space for those who come to visit us.

Overall, this update is just one of many steps we are taking to ensure the sustainability and success of our farm in the long run.

We look forward to sharing more updates as our project progresses!

Sunrise Serenade: When the Birds and Crickets Put on a Show

So, you’re waking up to the sweet, sweet sounds of nature’s orchestra? Birds chirping like they’re auditioning for the next big opera, crickets doing their best to rival a symphony?

Yep, that’s the morning symphony of the land, folks.
Let’s be honest, sometimes the birds sound more like they’re having a squabble than a concert, and the crickets can get a little… intense. But hey, it’s a reminder that the world is up and at ’em, even if you’re still hitting the snooze button.

And let’s not forget the divine intervention here. God bless this land, indeed! After all, who else could orchestrate such a chaotic, yet oddly beautiful, morning chorus?

Psalm 37

3 Trust in the Lord and do good;
dwell in the land and enjoy safe pasture.

4 Take delight in the Lord,
and he will give you the desires of your heart.

Cluck, Cluck, Hooray! Freshmen and Fowl in the Mansion

Welcome, dear readers, to the grand spectacle of life where chickens, pabos and freshmen 
collide in a delightful dance of chaos! Picture this: a stately bamboo mansion, once the abode of the big white dignitary, now bustling with the sounds of peeping chicks and the excited chatter of wide-eyed newcomers.

The Great Pabo Hatch-Off

First up, let’s talk about our feathered friends. Did you know that a chicklet can take up to 24 hours to fully hatch? That’s right! It’s like the ultimate slow reveal, but instead of a dramatic entrance, you get a fluffy ball of yellow fluff. Here’s how it goes down:

  1. Egg-citing Beginnings: The eggs are nestled under their cozy Pabo hen, turning them daily like they’re on a spa retreat.
  2. Peep Show: After about 21 days, the little ones start to peep, encouraging their still-snoozing siblings to join the party.
  3. Hatch Day: Finally, the moment arrives! Out pops a chick, ready to take on the world—or at least the enclosure.

Freshmen Take the Mansion

Now, let’s not forget our new freshmen! They’ve arrived at the mansion, probably thinking they’re stepping into a scene from a gothic novel. Instead, they find themselves in a lively hub of activity, where the only ghosts are the ones in their eaten friends.

  • Exploration Time: Freshmen are given the grand tour, complete with tales of the mansion’s history and maybe a few ghost stories to keep things interesting.
  • Towering Ambitions: They scamper up to the tower for a view that’s more breathtaking than their first midterm exam results.
  • Making Friends: Just like our chicks, they’re hatching new friendships, peeping out for their next adventure.

The Clucking Conclusion

So, whether you’re a chick breaking free from your shell or a freshman breaking into the world of higher education, remember: life is all about new beginnings. Embrace the chaos, enjoy the peeps, and don’t forget to have a little fun along the way! After all, in this mansion, it’s not just about the history—it’s about the stories we create, one hatch and one friendship at a time! 🐣🎉

Now, what’s your favorite part of this delightful chaos?

Farm Life Update: A Day of Hard Work and New Friends!

Hey there, farm enthusiasts! 🌾 Today was a bustling day on the farm, filled with chores, challenges, and a sprinkle of excitement. Here’s a quick rundown of what went down!

Herbicide Spraying and Coconut Replanting

  • We kicked off the day by spraying herbicides in the Hybrid Sections and along the West Barangay Road Section.
  • Unfortunately, we lost quite a few coconut trees to pesky rats! 🐀 But don’t worry; we’re on it! Next week, we’ll be deploying rat poison to tackle the problem head-on.
  • Replanting will commence where needed, and we’ll also be fertilizing all the trees since they’re due after six months. Just a quick reminder: keep dogs and chickens out of the treated areas for their safety!

Tackling Erosion with Irrigation

  • We also focused on water irrigation to combat erosion and manage the massive water flow in certain areas.
  • Our water filtration system is still missing a few parts, but we’re working on getting it sorted!

Welcoming New Family Members

  • The highlight of our day? We welcomed two adorable Chihuahua puppies and a Labrador Mix into our farm family!
    • Chihuahuas are the smallest dog breed in the world, hailing from Mexico.
    • Labradors are friendly and loyal, perfect companions for farm life.
  • A huge thank you to our neighbor Meraflor Santos for her generosity, and a special shoutout to her dad for the chicken! 🐔 It’s wonderful to see neighbors helping each other out. Remember, that’s what love and community are all about!

Sharing the Spirit

  • In the spirit of giving back, I’m offering all the Napier Grass along the cliff and creek. Feel free to take as much as you can carry for the next six months! Just text me for entry so my team can assist you.

That’s a wrap on today’s farm adventures! Stay tuned for more updates, and let’s keep this community spirit alive. Happy farming, everyone! 🌿
