A woman from the city made the ultimate decision to move with her boyfriend to his parents' land.

Going by the handle @darkghana on TikTok, the vlogger states in her post that she and her partner decided to leave living in the city to live on an organic farm almost a year ago.

The woman who added the name Sandy in her bio said:

"When he first brought me up here four years ago, I told him never to expect me to move up. I was a city girl through and through, but now here we are setting up a garden."

Sandy also shared a snap of the produce collected from her and her boyfriend's and his parents' garden. The assortment of inexpensive fruit and vegetables, as well as herbs, included strawberries, tomatoes, capsicum, beetroot, parsley, chillis, and chamomile.

She added that the produce was picked every few days during the summer, and the family only bought items they could not grow or make immediately.

While on the farmland, the former city-living woman encountered different animals along the way. Paige, a cheeky duck, always came inside their home asking for food. Pippi, the boyfriend's parents' dog, always visited Sandy's home, not forgetting a chicken and its chicks.
