Greetings fellow steemit foodies. How are you all today? Though life is a little busy right now, preparing the move and running the bakery, I am getting really excited here. If you have been following my story you might know that last year we moved into this beautiful 2-hectare property filed with fruits trees.

Unfortunately, our greedy landlady decided to go the price with 100% for this year, so we could no longer stay here as we are not willing to pay double. But then karma happened, we found a 4-hectare plot of land again packed with different kinds of fruit trees and cheaper as the monthly rent we pay know..... woot-woot.

I am sure you can imagine how thrilled we are to move and explore that beautiful piece of land once again located at the foot of the national park.

Pics and stories of our finds will follow soon. If all goes well we move Wednesday and Thursday, which are the closing day of our bakery.
