@DaniNierenberg Birds help propagate native hot chili peppers, bananas pop up on their own, wild butterfly pea flowers flourish all year long, & clans of monkeys swing freely branch to branch on our permaculture farms in Southern Thailand. Diversity in crops allows this to happen.

A wet mill for what, you might ask?  Stick around to find out in the next post. You'll then understand and hopefully appreciate why we've been away for a while. But here's hint:

It's what we hope to be strong, especially on a Monday morning.🤓

And time it did take for this project to come into fruition. When we came in 2019 right before the pandemic hit & completed transformation of the family #farm into a sustainable #permaculture one, who knew we were planting the seeds of the AMATA COMMUNITY WET MILL project.

These are a handful of heroes who have contributed to the success of our small farming business. With deep gratitude & appreciation we wish all a Happy #InternationalLabourDay!

Mature with lots of white crispy flesh, this 🥥 is ready for grating into a fine meal and squeezed into fresh coconut milk... or a healthy snack on its own. Prying the meaty white flesh out of the shell is half the fun!

My, what a handsome couple…
...of coconut halves😆

Takes some serious skills to chop a hard nut into perfect halves w/ a machete. Tht would be our very own Papa Duke who spends most days planting, maintaining, foraging & bringing home beauties like this.Bravo!👏🏼

For this King of Fruits if growing & market conditions are right, friends and family will be treated to an almost endless buffet during durian season, which happens to be right around the corner.

A Durian Seedling

Hard to imagine a lil’ tyke like ths growing to 150ft (45m). Not the easiest🌱 to grow. Be patient & expect to replace a couple of times b4 taking root. But when it actually does & begins bearing #fruit fr 4-6 years on, it's like gift giving at Xmas. #farming

Someone's enjoying a morning bath with one of our #beautiful butterfly pea flowers.

Can't pinpoint what kind of bugaroo this is. Anyone know?

Hunger overtook creativity when it came to cooking #farm fresh harvested CLIMBINE WATTLE. Tht & maybe a bit of laziness. Opted for a simple omelette. Beat a few🥚🥚smidgen of salt & fish sauce into a froth. Add tender CW shoots & mix well B4 pouring into med-heated pan... 1/3

until well set on both sides.

#Cooking will remove some of the pungency. And while the CW omelette by itself is tasty for a kiddy palate we grown-ups require one of #thaifood’s quintessential chili dipping sauce "nam prik kapi" made fr🍤 paste🌶🧄palm sugar & lime juice 2/3
