You don’t need to wander very far from the main house to become a farmer, pick your way around our “lawn,” munch like a goat for a bit, or get down and bring home dinner.
For the most part, we like to keep activities on the farm simple, tasteful, and slow going. Relaxing, slowing down to appreciate good food, participating in it’s creation, or just savoring its flavors and the healthful effects a gigantic pile of organic greens can have on your disposition, can take up a generous portion of your time. You will find the edible landscape encroaching ever more into the common areas about the main house, and this is done intentionally to make it easier for you to get involved with the fantastic flavors of nature. However, there are a few additional activities you can take part in, some of which are free, some of which do require additional costs. To avoid confusion, we have placed a hopefully comprehensive list of these below:

Neighboring the farm is a chain of waterfalls, 8 in all, that run up the side of the Mount Salak. The lowest of these, Citaman, is about an hour semi rigorous hike from the farm, and from there the possibilities increase in level of difficulty, up to the peak, a 4 to 6 hour blast up 1500 meters of vertical gain, for those who truly enjoy testing their mettle. Using local guides, we’re thinking of organizing it into an overnight hike, in order to get a bit more time (and sun) on the peak. If you’re interested, let us know.

The reward for your hour of hiking up the mountain and through the forest (which is also quite enjoyable, on its own).

The Citaman waterfall is actually the first of a string of 8 winding up the side of Mount Salak, though its pool is one of the best natural swimming holes we’ve seen.
