Description
Hi friends,
Our names are Takihiro, Sophea and Raksa. We are a farmer that created an organic farm in Mondulkiri province, Cambodia.
There are two projects for our farm:
1, Organic farming.
2, cooperate with other organic farmers for organic products. Organic technical consultation for farmers and partner companies.
We need volunteers all around the world who interesting in farm work and nature.
In our farm, already have an office, banana, passion fruit and Coffee farm. We live in a mountain house. We think, what we have we can share. IT LIKE YOUR HOUSE AND YOUR HAPPY FARM.
Description
Way for coming ...
Our Farm in Mondulkiri province (Mondulkiri means that the center of the mountain) at the north-east of Cambodia. Our farm stay in Saen Monorom city (Saen Monourom mean that beautiful city), Sangkat Sokadom ( Sokadom commune).
It is 12 km from Saenmonorom city and no street number. For the way travel from the town to our farm a little problem (only raining time the road is a little difficult but still can going. We call it the adventure way). We spend around 20 minutes from the town to our farm.
Our Situation
We are separate two departments are fruits garden and vegetable garden. Our farmland is 13 hectares include the natural forest. We keep the natural forest for balance between our agricultural actions and the natural.
So, it still some have animal wild, is on the mountain and it may be colder than other province of Cambodia (around 17 C – 35 C).
We dream, one day our farm will become Agroecology school for local communities and general people around. However, we still small but step by step.

When you arrive in Cambodia, Phnom Penh or Siem Reap you should stay in here one night. Because you need to spend 6 hours from Phnom Penh or 8 hours from Siem Reap to Mondulkiri. You can contact me by Facebook chat ( Sophea Kuch) to let me know when you arrive. We will call tuk-tuk to pick up at the Car station, you have to pay for tuk-tuk 25000r.
