Happy Earth Farm on Instagram: "When thinking of of organic farm life, what most people think of is a luscious green field with flowers blooming and or a grove of fruit trees with bountiful fruits. It’s there where animals, plants and planet living in harmony with happy faces. But the truth is, farm life is not always that beautiful. There is a time when almost everything is pretty much dead. The floor is full of fallen leaves and twigs. There’s very little signs of life around. That time is now, the summer months. The summer here can be quite harsh. It’s not just due to the heat or the lack of rain, but also the strong wind. Even the dry small twigs could catch a fire on their own. And that’s what happened to us back in 2021. Our farm was on fire. Within half an hour, one third of our field was burnt to ashes. We had to call a fire truck but by the time it arrived, the damage was already done. (Why the fire didn’t progress to the rest of our field is a story for another time.) It’s a painful sight to witness, but luckily the harvest season was already over and we were just waiting to mulch the dry grass preparing the field for the next growing season. So, thanks to the fire, we didn’t have to mulch it after all as the black carbon from the burning is returned to the ground as a natural fertilizer. Again, Mother Nature reminds us that life and death is two sides of the same coin. We can’t enjoy one without another. Farm life is not a happy ending or an easy escape from the reality. It’s just a life long journey in search of truth. Whether it’s pain or gain, we have to embrace it. And when we wholeheartedly accept it, that’s where happiness lies. #organicfarmlife #greenfield #bountifulfruits #livinginharmony #happyfaces #fire #summerheat #harvestseason #notoxliving #truth #reality #farmliving #earthishappy #summer #fire #farmfire"
