The Hutby euki nusantara

Four ways into rural Bali.

Nothing is rushed, and everything is shared.

The Mengani hillside from the air: the house, the gardens and the highland ridge behind

Picking ripe cherries from the coffee trees on the slope

A dense bed of red coffee cherries laid out to dry

Sacks and drying beds under the open shed at the edge of the farm

Coffee & Farming

Picking, sorting, drying and brewing, in season, with your hands in it.

A table of home-cooked dishes with people eating together

Pouring hot water over freshly ground coffee

Roasting green coffee in a pan over an open fire

Food & Ingredients

Balinese home cooking from the gardens, cooked by the family.

A tall waterfall in the forest, reached on foot from the farm

Standing beneath the waterfall during a melukat purification

Mossy boulders and a still pool at the foot of the falls

Nature & Village Life

Treks down to the river, farm paths, and cool highland air.

Woven palm-leaf offering trays filled with marigolds and rose petals

A priest sprinkling holy water over visitors' hands at the temple

Visitors in sarongs waiting in line at the temple gate to be blessed

Culture & Spirituality

Daily offerings, family temple life, and ceremonies when they fall.

There is a place at the table.
