Backyard Farming at Razorback Mountain


Backyard Farming

Backyard farming is fun ….I started to farm 10 years ago and up to now I enjoy it….from scratch, my husband and I have managed to carve out our small farm, build a small farmhouse, raise our own vegetables, corn, chicken,some turkey, goats and pigs. We have planted some fruit trees and now we are enjoying our harvests of avocado and mango. Our coconut trees have started bearing nuts, and we are also able to get coconut toddy or a local kind of drink (tuba).
It is not an easy task, considering that we were both not exactly farmers, but certainly our experience has shown that we can learn and have fun along the way.
We call our little piece of heaven, Manong Caloy Farm. It is located on the foothills of the Razorback Mountain Range in Guihulngan, Negros Oriental.
