Every month or so, my grandma will give us some free range eggs and sometimes chickens too. Not to forget some fresh fruit she has so lovingly planted and harvested! All ala natural and pesticide free.
All because my grandma has a barn which is situated directly beside her house. In this day and time I think its not easy keeping a barn when all of these produce are mass produced everywhere for bulk consumption. The cost benefit analysis of the time and patience also far outweighs growing your own. I think its incredible that my grandma, who is about 75 years old this year is still able to maintain her barn so well and this has really kept her healthy through the years.
Some hens running about freely. These are the best free range chickens you can ever find as they’re given ample space to run around and tlc from my grandma. These chickens are actually pretty tame and will eat out of your hand when you feed them, how cool is that? Anyone fancy a pet chicken? 
Those little red things – dont know what they’re called actually, but they’re used to store drinking water for the chickens. Many of you city kids might never have seen them before, thats why I’m sharing with photo with you!
Cute cat, surprisingly, cat and the chickens live together in perfect harmony and are best of friends. What a simple life, hehe!
More photos of the barn. I think its very special and pretty unusual these days to be able to experience village life. With the world moving towards modernization and sky scrapers filling the sky, many kids nowadays will not know of village life or anything beyond their favorite hangout spot or shopping center, which is really sad. There’s so much to gain from taking a step back from the hustle and bustle of the city, away from the rat race, escape into the countryside, into the village. Fresh produce, clean air, better standard of living, everything is pure and natural.
I present to you my super grandma in action! She’s trying to pluck some rambutans for us with a long rod with a knife at the end – in Malay its called galah, not sure about the proper English word
Juicy red rambutans on the tree! Salivating just looking at them.
Grandma is in the process of removing the red ants from the scrumptious rambutans for us to savour as we’re all waiting impatiently, hehe!
Last but not least, rambutans up close. Dont they look tempting?
This post is for dedicated to my grandma and to all grandmas out there, you are awesome!
