Its Earth Day!

We continue to grow our forest × farm with lots of learnings and challenges, yet its deeply satisfying to see how we can grow organic food while improving life for animals and insects on our land.

Exciting times to come - we chatted with a potential partner to study how a forest farm might heal ecology!

Stay tuned...

𝗔𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸𝘀𝗵𝗼𝗽:
Join us over a long weekend to explore, learn, and practice natural farming and gardening across various contexts applicable across small and large-scale practices. Taking place on our tropical regenerative farm in Kota Tinggi, Johor, we will draw from permaculture and syntropic farming principles and practices to delve into the integrated topics of: soil health and regeneration, gardening design and practice, foraging and fermentation, and composting and waste management.
This workshop is suitable to anyone curious and engaged about living in a more harmonious way with our environments, and is open to gardening and farming practitioners of all levels. Through communal co-learning and hands-on practice, this workshop offers the time and space to connect with a learning community, and experience slow, present, and joyful living on the farm.

Dear Community,
Selamat Hari Raya 💚

We are excited to announce that our ‘First Steps into Natural Farming’ workshop is back!

Some core questions circling this foundational workshop are: How might we cultivate a way of living that feels integrated and harmonious with the living ecologies within and around us? What practices restore our connectedness to nature?

Through nature walks, gardening, farming, permaculture-based learning, designing and sharing sessions, communal meals, fermentation, and composting, among more practices, we will explore nature-based ways of living that can be practiced across rural, suburban, and urban communities and ecosystems.

This workshop is open to ~25 pax. More details and registration to be shared soon!

Come for an illuminating trek in the dark to see our wilder side!

5 years in, our efforts in agroforestry have resulted in a vibrant ecosystem, teeming with incredible biodiversity.

You'll be in the good hands of Shawn, a reptile lover, vet, conservationist, and friend of our farm. Be blown away by his passion for animals and ask him anything! We have literally seen him tackle a python on our farm (to check its health and release it) with his bare hands and a stick. (do not try this at home).

October Open Farm Day 🌺

How’s everyone been keeping of late?
Hard to believe we’re already nearing October!

Our upcoming Open Farm Day is coming up, and we’d love to welcome you over — our Open Farm Day is an easeful Saturday morning for connecting with one another and with the land, exploring the many dimensions of regenerative agriculture, and hopefully gleaning something inspiring along the way. Our team will guide a farm walk and we’ll have some seasonal refreshments to share as well. It’s a gathering ritual for us, and we hope you’ll come be a part of it!

Tickets and more info at our link in bio, or here: https://alittlewildoct4ofd.peatix.com

“The banana is so wonderful it even gives us bananas.”

Bananas are a keystone species at the current stage of the land’s regeneration, and in the language of syntropic agroforestry described as “placentas of the forest”. In forests, wild bananas are the first to spring up after natural disturbances — they are a major store of water and nutrients, and provide the essential biomass needed for healing and regenerating soil.

Each Tuesday morning is a ritual of harvesting, where we walk through the plots, row by row, to harvest produce and gifts from the land. The bananas are a big part of weekly harvest, and no easy feat when it comes to harvesting and pruning them — an ultimate fruit ninja training 🔪

Harvesting and pruning go hand in hand as bananas only fruit once per tree — after harvest the entire banana trunk is brought down and mulched to return it’s biomass to the rest of the ecosystem. No part of the banana goes to waste. It’s trunk is halved and the exposed side touches soil, feeding earthworms who cycle nutrients, nourishing the next generation of bananas and fruit trees.

We have 14 different varieties of bananas on the farm, each with their own stories and recipes. Which ones have you tried, and which are your favorite?

Love that this variety comes from our land. 5 years into regeneration after decades solely in palm oil production.

We might not produce any 1 thing by the 100s of kgs, but we definitely bring health and colour back to the land and homes ❤️
