Hello everyone,
Whenever I visit my brother’s farm house in the mountain, I always find something that catches my attention. This time, it was not only the beautiful view but also the different fruits growing around their home.
My brother and his family have many fruit trees planted around the area. Some fruits have become so ordinary to them that they hardly notice them anymore. But for someone like me who loves fruits, especially anything with a sour taste, these trees are like little treasures waiting to be discovered.
One of the fruits that caught my attention was bugnay. There were many ripe ones hanging from the tree, and seeing them made me excited to taste them. I really enjoy fruits with that sweet-and-sour flavor, so I could not help but appreciate what was growing naturally around the house.
Aside from bugnay, my brother also has guyabano, atis, and other fruit trees. Looking around made me imagine how nice it would be to have a home surrounded by fruit trees and vegetables. Instead of having to look far for something to harvest, there would always be something growing nearby. This is something I amazed and wanted to have in my backyard.
During my visit, my sister-in-law was preparing spaghetti for the farm workers. Since I was there, I happily joined them for lunch or maybe I should say snack! She also prepared homemade pizza, and it was really delicious. Food always seems to taste better when shared with family, especially after spending time outdoors.
After eating, I enjoyed a cup of coffee while looking at the mountains. The green landscape, cool mountain air, and trees surrounding the house made the moment even more enjoyable.
This visit reminded me that the kind of farm I dream about does not have to be completed overnight. Planting can happen one tree at a time, one vegetable at a time, and one season at a time.
Someday, I hope to have more fruits and vegetables growing around our own home too. For now, I am happy to visit, observe, enjoy, and get inspiration from the farms around us.
