There is nothing more wondrous than a garden full of healthy veggies and robust fruits. The verdant colour of a garden gives me a resting space. It soothes my eyes as I look into the garden of my auntie. She has a few acres of land where she plants varieties of fruit trees and veggies. At the back of her garden is a lot intended for herbs. Visiting my auntie’s place is a pleasure to the ultimate level. Every visit is like a de luxe vacation, close to nature and away from the hustle and bustle of city life. The place is very ideal for grabbing time for yourself, a perfect locale for meditation and contemplation. But what interests me most of the auntie’s little farm is its self-sufficiency. My aunt told me that the farm gives them more than what they need. They do not have that much in life but the little farm they till means so much to them. It is their paradise—an Eden which gives them earth’s bounty. With the sufficient food supply they get out of the farm every harvest season, they see to it that nothing is wasted. So as for the surplus produce from the garden, they have it sold through some produce brokers who frequent the place for agricultural crops. My aunt’s family lives a simple life; the land has blessed them so much. They do not have millions, but God has been very kind to them. The adequate farm produce that they have is being shared to other people by means of selling them at a price reasonable enough to be afforded by an average income earner. The produce brokers are there to extend assistance to see to it that they realize fair gains from their produce.
