হাফেজ ওমর ফারুকের খামার বাড়ি

About

Hafez Omar Faruk's home on Chairman Road, beside the Narad river on the edge of Natore town, is a varied little farm. He memorised the Quran at Dewanpara madrasa, holds a diploma in electrical engineering from Rajshahi Government Polytechnic and a master's in Arabic literature from Hathazari madrasa. At his parents' wish he stayed home and built the farm. Two of his six Friesian cows give 20 litres of milk a day between them, which is in demand across the area, and a bull was being fattened for Eid. He has two Totapuri goats and two kids; one goat has drawn offers of up to Tk 50,000. There are also native chickens, ducks, Muscovy ducks, geese and many kinds of pigeon. The big yard and the river help with the poultry, and straw from the family's land feeds the cattle and goats. The whole family shares the care. He took training and a loan from the Department of Youth Development and has repaid the loan. Monthly income is about Tk 30,000, and visitors come almost daily to see the goats.
