THE TOUR|THE INTERACTION
The day of the tour had finally arrived, and Sophie stood at the edge of her family's vast farm, watching as buses began to roll in, one after the other. The sun was high in the sky, casting a golden glow over the rows of crops that stretched out before them. The scent of fresh produce filled the air, and the sight of her family's farm, bustling with activity, filled Sophie with pride.
All around her, students were disembarking from the buses, their eyes wide with curiosity as they took in the landscape. It wasn't just her classmates from Seoul University—there were students from all across Korea. Their excited chatter filled the air as they marveled at the farm, some taking pictures, others already discussing what they had learned so far on the tour.
It was a crisp morning at the SOperbK estate, where Sophie stood on the vast green fields, her family's empire stretching endlessly into the horizon. The gentle breeze carried the scent of freshly harvested produce, a reminder of her deep connection to the land.
Dressed in her signature fashion farm attire, Sophie wore a light, crisp white shirt, its sleeves rolled up to her elbows, revealing her delicate yet strong hands. Her tailored farm pants, an olive green that complemented the earth around her, hugged her figure, giving her both comfort and style. She had chosen a pair of sleek brown boots, perfect for the day's work yet undeniably fashionable.
Her long, silky hair was tied into a loose ponytail with a velvet ribbon, a subtle contrast to her rugged surroundings. The ribbon fluttered softly with the wind, adding a touch of elegance to her look. Sophie adjusted the bow at the back of her neck, a final touch to the perfectly tied booth tie she wore around her collar.
As the students were guided through the farm, meeting her family and hearing about their innovative practices, Sophie noticed how engaged everyone was. Her father spoke passionately about their methods for sustainable farming, and her mother pointed out the various crops they specialized in. Sophie, too, shared insights from her own studies, answering questions and explaining their processes.
After hours of exploring the fields, greenhouses, and learning about the farm's cutting-edge techniques, it was finally time for lunch. Sophie's family had been preparing for this moment for weeks, making sure that everything would be perfect.
Rows of long, rustic wooden tables were set up under large canopies, nestled in a clearing surrounded by the farm's flourishing greenery. The tables were beautifully laid out, adorned with baskets of fresh fruits and vegetables harvested that very morning.
As the students began to gather at the tables, Sophie's family started bringing out dishes. The meal was a true celebration of their hard work—every dish was made using produce grown right on the farm. There were vibrant salads, roasted vegetables, freshly baked bread, and grilled meats, all served family-style in large platters. The aroma of freshly cooked food wafted through the air, making everyone's stomachs growl with anticipation.
Sophie found herself seated at one of the long tables with a mix of students from various universities. The atmosphere was lively and relaxed. Conversations flowed easily as they talked about the tour, their different experiences, and what they had learned so far.
This is incredible," one student from Yonsei University said, biting into a juicy tomato from one of the platters. "I've never tasted anything this fresh before."
Sophie smiled. "That's the advantage of farm-to-table. Everything you're eating was picked this morning. My family believes in sharing what we grow, and we wanted you all to experience that firsthand."
Another student from KAIST nodded. "It's not just about the food, though. Seeing how your family operates, how you've integrated sustainability into every aspect of the farm—it's really inspiring."
