The rooster crows at dawn, but it's the gentle bleating of goats that truly wakes me. Another day at Mawun Valley Farm begins.
Morning Routine
The morning light filters through the bamboo blinds of my cabin. I've learned to embrace the farm's rhythm — early to rise, early to rest.
Breakfast is always a highlight. Today it's farm-fresh eggs with vegetables picked just hours ago, accompanied by homemade jam on toast. The coffee is strong and local.
Contributing to the Farm
As a volunteer, I spend about 3 hours each morning helping with farm tasks. Today's job: tending to the vegetable garden.
The work varies day to day:
- Feeding the goats and chickens
- Watering the herb garden
- Harvesting ripe vegetables
- Painting and decorating projects
Afternoon Freedom
After lunch, the afternoon is mine. Some days I grab a bike and ride to Mawun Beach — just 5 minutes away.
Evening Magic
As the sun begins to set, the farm transforms. On Fridays, we gather for BBQ night — the highlight of the week. Fresh fish from local fishermen, vegetables from the garden, and Noni's legendary sambal.
The sense of community here is unlike anywhere I've traveled. We're not just guests — we're family.
