No electricity needed to cool off in summer! Come make a betel palm fan~
With betel palm, it's not just the fruit that has economic value - the betel palm leaf is very useful too!
In the countryside in summer, grandpa and grandma always have one in hand, fanning away naturally, and in the evening it can even swat mosquitoes.
Let's all cut a betel palm fan together, then draw a picture of coolness!
And also... announcements
Crop growth is closely tied to the natural environment, and the bending-down farmers join the market according to different factors such as the season and the conditions at their place of origin, offering different kinds of fresh products. If there are farmers you cannot find this month, you are welcome to find their contact information directly in the farmer profiles on the Bending Down blog, and call them directly to ask about the farmers and their crops!
The weather is so, so hot - a high of 39 degrees is practically enough to fry a person. If you can't make it by ten in the morning, you might as well come in the afternoon when it's a bit cooler, put on a hat, bring a fan, and take a stroll. Come to Bending Down and bring your own cup; there are all kinds of cooling drinks on site to choose from - honey kumquat, roselle tea, mint tea... all natural products from our own farms.
