City slickers find joy in running an organic farm

Earth Day, Earth Warriors: Two friends have given up the bright lights of the big city and gone into the business of growing organic greens.

Growing up in all of his 28 years as an urban boy, Mohd Arafat Sharipudin now shuns the bright lights that is Kuala Lumpur for the simple joys of life on a farm. He is now happiest when sowing and toiling the earth for organically-planted fruit trees and vegetables on 4ha of agriculture land located in the coastal town of Kuala Selangor in Selangor, near Kampung Kuantan that is famous for its fireflies.
