MicroFarm is a real home-scale farm in Ayutthaya — not a concept, and not a company.
Ten hens in a small run, a two-metre azolla pond with a fish trial in it, two black
soldier fly colonies, and two beds of waterleaf grown for the flock. That is the
whole farm, roughly seventy square wah of it.
Everything on this site is documented as observed: what was measured, what was
tried, what failed. The farm comes first; the technology stays quiet until it
earns a place.

I.The Farm — six systems
Working systems, small and real.
Some run every day. Some are still experiments. All six are documented as they are — not as they might become.
01
ChickensACTIVE
Egg production, feed experiments and flock management. Ten hybrid layers in a small backyard run — a trial flock on the way toward a self-replenishing breed.
CHICKENS — THE RUNPHOTO PENDING — ILLUSTRATION02
AzollaACTIVE
A two-metre tarpaulin pond growing a fast aquatic fern as supplemental biological feed. Side pipes are sagging and due for repair.
AZOLLA — THE PONDPHOTO PENDING — ILLUSTRATION03
Black Soldier FlyEXPERIMENTAL
Two small flying colonies turning organic waste into animal protein. Larvae are fed to the chickens for real, and a fly house closes the breeding loop on-farm. Supply still runs in gaps.
BSF — TWO COLONIESPHOTO PENDING — ILLUSTRATION04
FishEXPERIMENTAL
A first small trial — guppies and swordtails in the azolla pond. A larger tank system and a higher-value species are being planned.
FISH — POND TRIALPHOTO PENDING — ILLUSTRATION05
PlantsACTIVE
Two beds of waterleaf (ผักโสมไทย) growing part of the farm’s own feed, harvested for the flock.

TechnologyPLANNED
Measurement, sensors, solar, automation and AI-assisted analysis — the quiet layer underneath the garden. None of it is installed yet.

The cycles we are building — some already live.
Solid lines run today. Dashed lines are planned. Nothing here is pretended: the diagram shows the farm as it is, plus the connections still ahead.

III.Field Notes — the record
Notes from the farm.
Real observations from the project record — none of it composed for the occasion.
CHICKENS
Recent production sits around seven eggs a day from ten hens — nine sound birds and one with a long-standing leg injury.
OBS 0110 HENS · ~7 EGGS/DAY
BSF
Two black soldier fly colonies are flying and laying nearly every day. A new round is in culture to close the current supply gap.
OBS 022 COLONIES · LAYING NEARLY DAILY
AZOLLA
Pond water sits at 15–20 cm; the side pipes are sagging and due for repair. Swordtails and guppies now keep a small trial in the same pond.
OBS 032 × 2 M · 15–20 CM
Entry 22.09.26 · As recorded in the MicroFarm repository — flock, BSF and azolla
state on that date. Daily logging of eggs and feed begins with real measurements.
IV.Experiments — trials
Nothing running yet — by design.
The first proper trial has not started. When it does, it will be documented here in full before it begins: question, hypothesis, setup, measurements, observations, result, decision.
