For nearly a week, the rambutan orchard of Mr. Vo Van Teo and Mrs. Phan Thi Huong (Bau Cong hamlet, Tan My commune) has attracted many people from within and outside the district to visit, take photos, and buy fruit.
Ms. Huong said that in the past few days, the orchard has welcomed dozens of visitors each day who come to visit and buy rambutan, with nearly 100 people visiting on peak days. Many people enjoy visiting the orchard and experiencing picking rambutan.
Visitors enjoyed the experience of picking rambutan in the orchard.
Previously, visiting fruit orchards required traveling to the Mekong Delta or the Southeast region, but now it's possible to visit rambutan orchards right in one's local area, which is very popular, especially among young people.
Ms. Nguyen Thi Thanh Xuan (Hau Nghia town, Duc Hoa district) shared that, knowing about the rambutan orchard in Tan My commune, she took her children to visit so they could see the rambutan trees firsthand and experience picking the fruit. It only took about 20 minutes from home to the orchard, and her children had a fun and enjoyable time.
Similar to Ms. Xuan, Ms. Tran Bao Ngan (Hau Nghia town) said that she learned about the rambutan orchard in Bau Cong hamlet through social media. Seeing that the orchard was near her house, she wanted to visit to explore , take souvenir photos, and buy rambutan for her family. The feeling of going to the orchard and eating fruit she picked herself was truly a delightful experience.
Mr. Vo Van Teo said that his family's rambutan orchard is nearly 8 years old, with about 50 trees currently bearing fruit and having been harvested for 4 years. Most are Thai rambutan varieties, with a few traditional ones. Initially, he planted over 60 trees but had to cut some down to create space for the others to grow. The orchard usually yields an off-season harvest every year; however, this year, due to the weather and irrigation water supply, the rambutan is bearing fruit for the second season.
The rambutan orchard of Mr. Vo Van Teo and Mrs. Phan Thi Huong (Bau Cong hamlet, Tan My commune, Duc Hoa district) yields about 1 ton per harvest.
This isn't the first year Mr. Teo's family has opened their orchard to visitors for tours and to buy rambutan. Four years ago, when the rambutans started bearing fruit, he began allowing visitors to tour the orchard . When the rambutans ripen, the family harvests them and sells them at local markets. The fruit is grown using safe farming practices, so people feel reassured.
Sharing the reason for renovating his garden to grow fruit trees, Mr. Teo said that it stemmed from family members wanting to visit rambutan orchards, but because the orchards were all far from home, he decided to try planting this type of tree to both serve his family's needs and create additional income.
According to him, rambutan trees require a lot of care when first planted, and he himself lacked experience, so he encountered many difficulties. However, after some research, he succeeded with his rambutan cultivation model in Duc Hoa.
Currently, Mr. Teo's rambutan orchard yields an average of over 1 ton per harvest. For Mr. Teo, the rambutan orchard not only provides income for his family but also brings joy to him and his wife as visitors come to experience picking rambutans and taking photos in their hometown without having to travel far.
