00:08 We started the construction in May 2019
00:11 and our main obstacle is that this area is not accessible by four-wheel vehicles.
00:19 So, it's hard to transport materials from the highway to here.
00:25 So, we actually need to hire professionals to make the road so that it can pass by four-wheels.
00:32 And then, this area also has no source of water and electricity.
00:39 So, since it's a farmland, it really needs a source of water.
00:44 So, we made a deep well that is automatic so that we have a source of water.
00:50 And then, our electricity is also expensive because the highway is far, but we need it.
00:57 [Music]
01:00 Maybe the first thing to consider is that you should know that this is what you want.
01:06 The very first thing because it's not easy.
01:09 If you just see the peg online that it's a nice farmhouse, but you don't know.
01:14 Once you live here, like what we experienced, the room is filled with grass or grass or grass.
01:22 So, it's like we anticipate that it might happen.
01:26 So, it's not an everyday thing that's Instagrammable or IG-worthy.
01:30 Since this is a farm setting, the scenes like that are possible to happen.
01:37 And then, if it's raining heavily, it will get foggy.
01:41 But if this is what you really want, you don't see those issues as too much of a problem.
01:47 Instead, you will focus on the solutions that you should do for that because you want to live here.
01:53 [Music]
01:58 We also have livestock, poultry, and then we also have a goat house.
02:04 For the poultry, we have around 50 hens for now.
02:08 So, we also have products like eggs and then dressed chicken.
02:12 And then for the goats, so far we have seven goats.
02:17 We also have cows.
02:19 We have two cows for now.
02:21 [Music]
02:27 This is our house.
02:29 Let's go to the chicken coop and goat house.
02:33 [Music]
02:37 So, this is our chicken coop and the goat house is over there.
02:42 The chicken coop was built in 2019, the same date as the construction of the house.
02:51 So, it's a bit old.
02:53 But these are our chickens.
02:57 We call them French chickens.
03:00 So, they have brown eggs.
03:02 They produce brown eggs.
03:04 And here, this is our incubator.
03:09 This is our harvest today.
03:13 Brown eggs.
03:17 So, here we have four rooms for breeding.
03:22 These are our breeders.
03:24 [Music]
03:27 Since Red and I would like to practice sustainable living, we have a small garden.
03:33 It's food consumption only.
03:35 Vegetables like tomatoes, petchay.
03:38 From time to time, we just change what we plant in the garden.
03:43 For right now, we are more focused on planting fruit trees like lonzones, rambutan, calamansi, bananas.
03:54 Because we are aiming that in a few years, maybe five to ten years, it will bear fruit.
04:00 Hopefully. And we're aiming because as much as possible, we can retire early.
04:05 So, that's our mindset.
04:07 We don't want to work until it's super old.
04:11 So, right now, we're planting for long-term investment.
04:15 That's why we opted for fruit trees for now.
04:19 [Music]
04:24 So far, we can sell the eggs.
04:27 We advertise it as free-range farm eggs.
04:30 For now, our focus is on fruit trees.
04:33 So, our produce is eggs and chicken.
04:37 We are planning to have a small cafe here.
04:41 And also, maybe do a farm-to-table experience for people.
04:47 And maybe we can officially open this area to the public.
