Punjab Emu Farm

You can find Punjab Emu Farm over at Qila Nau, which is part of Nava Qila. It’s a unique kind of place to work. We’ve been here for several years now. Emu farming isn’t like regular cattle or crop farming. The birds are interesting and they take a lot of looking after. The area around Qila Nau is mostly open space, which is good for the birds to move around. We have pens and fenced areas set up all over the property. It’s a lot of outdoor work. The weather really affects our day. When it’s hot, we have to make sure everything is shaded. When it rains, Nava Qila gets a bit muddy. We don't have a big office building. It’s mostly just the farm sheds and the enclosures. Punjab Emu Farm is a small family-style operation. We spend our time feeding, cleaning, and checking on the stock. It’s a quiet life out here. We don't get a ton of visitors, but people who are interested in emus eventually find their way to Qila Nau. It’s a lot of physical labor. My boots are never clean. We just get on with the daily chores. It’s a simple existence, really. We don't have any fancy marketing or big plans. We just want to keep the farm running and the birds healthy. That’s enough for us.
