When we stepped out of our cars, someone exclaimed, 'Oh, it's so peaceful!'. A welcoming sight greeted us at
NURFARM AGRO. Being on a farm evokes warm sentiments like this especially for city folk . The abundant greenery and the rustic look coupled with the chickens doing their swagger instantly won us over.
The GPS did not fail us; we took the wrong turn and finally it was a relief to hear the lady's voice announcing crisply,' Arriving at destination' which was in Ulu Langat. En Adziz and his wife, Pn Zaini greeted us warmly and escorted us to their admin office, a house built with recycled timber. The house has an airy feel and we seated ourselves in the lecture room, ready to absorb En Adziz's journey into carving his path as a goat farmer. Before the tour, we were served with drinks and snacks like curry puff and cakes.
He has 270 odd animals, goats and sheep inclusive. The goats are of the Jamnapari and Boer varieties reared for meat. Work is never done on the farm and this farm has an integrated farming concept. There's the animals for meat, organic fertilisers and soil mix from the dung, And naturally, plants thrive well from the specially processed fertilisers. If anyone fancies fishing, there are 2 ponds and you can fish for your dinner. But the scorching sun beat down on us and we retreated to shady spots. We bought some plants. Me, I couldn't resist a lime, lemon (Australian variety) and a passionfruit plant. Sure enough, there'll be a squeeze in the garden which prompted my son to say that I was turning my garden topsy turvy!!
