Embark on an intimate half-day escapade to a locally owned and operated organic farm, where the fusion of nature’s bounty and local wisdom awaits. Your experience begins with a warm welcome as you learn about the farm’s commitment to sustainability while enjoying a homemade snack and welcome drink.
Nestled in the heart of Koh Phangan for over 15 years, this locally owned haven, curated by the lovely couple Khun Sao and Khun Noom, offers more than just an organic farm; it’s a retreat with a quaint homestay of six bungalows, blending modern comforts with rustic charm.
The farm itself is a living classroom, inviting you to engage in a variety of hands-on activities and workshops. Learn the art of crafting Mosquito Repellent Spray from natural ingredients or delve into the process of Fruit Fermentation to create eco-friendly cleaning products. The farm’s commitment to organic practices extends to its nourishment of chickens and fish, with food sourced directly from nature.
As you wander through the farm, you’ll have the opportunity to feed the organic chickens, gain insights into effective food waste composting, and discover the secrets of producing wood vinegar. The farm’s diverse flora offers a chance to sample fresh fruits and vegetables right from the source.
The on-site shop presents a selection of farm-fresh produce and homemade goods, including eggs, leafy greens, and an array of natural products like shampoo, body wash, and cold-pressed coconut oil, alongside their signature Lemongrass Mosquito Repellent.
The experience is highlighted by a selection of workshops, where you can immerse yourself in the art of traditional Thai craftsmanship. Please note: the Coconut Oil Making Workshop is arranged by default unless an alternative workshop is specifically requested at the time of booking.
