Our farm at Hofuf in Saudi Arabia

The tropical climate with two hot and dry seasons, with moderate warmth with some occasional showers during the winter is what welcomes one to Hofuf area in Saudi Arabia. Hofuf is the host to our humble country home that has a rich farm with an extensive and spacious environment that could be an ideal get away for a weekend and holiday. The history of Hofuf is well explained as it has very interesting monuments and buildings that have over time been the best Saudi Arabic tourist attractions. Our family moved to Hofuf when I was twelve years old and although I was not okay with the idea of moving to a new place, I actually made a deep connection with this place. It ended up being this place even when I joined school in another city, I would visit the farm every weekend.

The farm is located in the suburbs of Hofuf area in Saudi Arabia. It is a large farm that has numerous attractions that come from the animals reared to what is grown in the firm as well. The natural methods of living are what make me attracted to this place. On the animal side of the farm, there is a wide variety of animals; we have rabbits that have been reared for years now. We keep these rabbits for both domestic value and also for commercial use as some people will come in for rabbit meat within the area for domestic consumption. The fact that I have seen them, being bred makes it easier for me to consume them as they have been fed with good rabbit diets.

In the recreational lounge, we have a bowl that is from black rocks, this is an interesting feature of the farm as it makes life more relaxing and has something to anticipate when at the farm. In addition to this, we are planning to have an extended section of the farm where we can have a horse riding area that will make the stay at the farm more interesting and adventurous. In addition to this, we have a traditional system of getting water that comes from a well. This is one way that we have been able to maintain the cultural diversity as we have not placed any taps in the farm and hence making the place as conservative as possible.

We also have numerous date trees in the farm and we enjoy dates when they have been on season. We enjoy eating them and when the harvest is excess, we sell some off to people outside the region and share with those within the region. I am proud to be associated with this humble home as it has taught me to accept a humble background and most importantly to appreciate where I come from. I also value agriculture as it has been installed in me as not only is there a farm there but there are many other farms that have been involved in different agricultural practices like rice growing.

Apart from that we have a small oasis that is on the rear side of the farm where we have been able to harness water for other uses in the farm like irrigating the dates right after planting them. This oasis is an important part of the farm as the areas hot and dry climate leads to the scarcity of water in the region. This can be solved by making sure there is adequate water storage, which we have taken care of by having tanks that store water and the well as well. Water has not been such a problem, however, without making important storage measures, it will be a problem when the dry season sets in.

In the farm, there are people who also work there and maintain it as well. This is one way to make sure that we are able to attract employment to these people and change lives as well. We have a farm foreman who is in charge of everything in the farm and controls all the activities even in the absence of the owners, who are my parents. This has also made it easier for my parents as they are able to do other things without worrying much about the farm. Although responsibilities like such are difficult to it has showed me that at times, there has to be someone in charge so that there is proper accounting for all the activities in the farm.

In conclusion, the farm at Hofuf is one place I love to visit on a weekend basis as it offers, the best environmental comfort, and the natural scale of the land is also another attraction that makes me feel the great attachment to this place. I would prefer to stay here all my life, but with some of the circumstances surrounding the matter, I prefer the weekend visits.
