Farmer Cliff
In Year 2014, I ventured into commercial farming to supply vegetable to supermarkets. Throughout this business, I did not bring back any of my produce to my family knowing that we have used extensive amount of chemical and pesticide to grow it. After 2 years, I gave up knowing that it is not what I wanted to be involved with long term. Later, I met with Dr Ting who is running an organic farm in Kuala Lipis and decided to join him immediately with the intention to grow something healthy where my family and myself can consume safely. During this organic journey, it was really tough, we faced with lots of obstacles, pest issues and virus infections. But we persisted and work it through because we know that is the right thing to do. With 6 years of painstaking effort, we have successfully acquired 5 certifications from recognised and reputable certifier of Malaysia. In 2018, our farm began to practice Biodynamic farming methods to further improve the biodiversity and health of the farm. We even went to Dornach, the origins of BD to learn what is needed to meet the standards of BioDynamic Farming. The journey does not stop here, we will continue to do what is necessary to bring the best produce with all our loyal supporters.
Starting off with commercial farming in 2014, I produced vegetables to local chain stores. During that period of time, I never once brought back my produce to my family knowing that we’ve used an extensive amount of chemicals and pesticides to grow nice looking vegetables. This business is straight forward and returns are reasonable. On the flip-side, my conscious is asking me if i should continue to produce crops which is not healthy to consume and damaging the environment.
Soon after, i’ve decided to quit commercial farming with the vision and mission to grow something safe and healthy vegetables to be consumed. This mission brought me to Dr.Ting who runs an organic farm in Kuala Lipis. We decided to work together immediately with the same vision.
