Located(坐落) on the hills of Lagiloa, this farming area has become a popular place for farmers from all parts of Fiji. The farming area was established(建立) by villagers of Vidawa. The establishment followed concerns by the elders in the village that their income came mostly from tourism and not so much from farming. The farming area is about 45 minutes’ walk from Vidawa. Although there is a road leading to the farming area, most farmers prefer not to drive up because of the poor road conditions.

The group leader Pilisiano Manabau said the elders decided to send a group of men from the village to start farming on the land on the hills of Lagiloa. “We came up, cut down the trees and started our farms here,” he said. “The elders in the village wanted us to get money from the farms too instead of mainly depending on tourism which is successful in our village.”

“Since we started, a lot of men from other parts of Fiji have come to join us and have been sending money back to their families. Only men live in this area. Women stay back at home to look after children.” Mr. Manabau said.

The area has about 13 houses built near the farms and the farmers depend on the fresh water from a source(来源) on the hilltop for drinking water. “If it rains, then we fill up our drums. During dry weather, we walk to the source to fill buckets(桶) for cooking and drinking.” Mr. Manabau said. “The farmers from other parts have to see the elders in our village to ask for a piece of land. In most cases, the elders allow them to come and farm because they know it is about supporting their families.”
