Kopak Trees on the Family Farm
Posted on 09 May 2009
While spending time on the family farm in Nakhon Phanom I was really impressed with how self sufficient they really are. I knew they grew most of their own food and caught their own fish, but I was surprised at just how much the farm gives them. The various fruit and nut trees give way to dense copses of bamboo which they use for everything from weaving material to make sticky rice containers to using larger sections of bamboo for jugs and tools.
One day I noticed this tree with large green pods that I had never seen before and before I could ask, Grandma, who is 86 years old, started towards me with a large bamboo pole. For a second I thought she was going to whack me with it but then I realized she was aiming for the large pods that the tree bore.
