CNJ Agrofarm
One pond, a flock of ducks, a grove of lemons — a small farm that runs in circles, the way nature intended.

Azolla is a floating fern barely bigger than a thumbnail, and it is the quiet engine of CNJ Agrofarm. It doubles itself in days, pulls nitrogen straight from the air, and carpets our pond in green.
Every morning we skim a harvest for the ducks — protein-rich feed that never sees a sack, a truck, or an invoice.
Lemons with the Borneo sun inside
Our grove grows on Bau's limestone soil, watered by Sarawak rain and ripened under an equatorial noon. We pick by hand, at peak, the same week they reach you.
Thin-skinned, heavy for their size, and sharp enough to wake up a whole pitcher — that's a lemon that never travelled to a warehouse.
The fly that closes the loop
Black soldier fly larvae are the farm's recyclers. They turn farm and kitchen scraps into dense, living protein in under two weeks — and leave behind rich compost for the lemon grove.
The larvae feed the ducks. The ducks lay the eggs. The waste feeds the larvae. Nothing on this farm is thrown away; it is only passed along.
Salted duck eggs, the slow way
This is what the whole day was for. Ducks raised on azolla and soldier-fly protein lay eggs with deep, oily, sunset-orange yolks — and we salt them by hand, in small homemade batches, the way it has always been done.
- Ducks graze the pond and meadow
- Eggs gathered at first light
- Brined in small batches
- Weeks of patience, checked daily
- Telur masin — golden to the centre
Tomorrow it begins again.
