Is there anything that you would like to highlight, add or clarify? All the food we serve in our property is eco-friendly and home-grown. We grow our own crops and we do not use pesticides on them. We have our little farm where we grow crops, have a cow for milk and we plant our own potatoes, corn, tomatoes, onions, garlic, salad, cucumbers, carrots etc.
