A view of the lush greenery from the kitchen at the main farmstay building, a single-storey annexe, for farmstay guests and is fully equipped with bedrooms, a lounge, kitchen and dining area.

Vlasdislav Kuta, 39, a Czech Republic native, runs the farm with girlfriend, Amy Tan, 33, a movement therapist and certified rolfer.

Commercial planting of eucalyptus trees in the valley surrounding the farm has destroyed the area’s rainforest and resulted in flash floods and water pollution downstream.

Ladia tries to milk a doe whose udder is blocked. The farm is home to 17 goats, a cow and more than 30 chickens, rabbits, ducks and geese.

It is a common sight to find crops grown in disposed tyres as a way of sustainable living.

Adeline waters the plants in the nursery in the morning.

The three-storey building, which houses the farm animals, is also living quarters for both the owners and volunteers.

Ingredients produced on the farm are used to make hearty meals like goulash and nasi lemak. 

The water containers in the barn have to be refilled every morning. They are placed above the compost heap so that the animals can defecate on it.
