What’s more, If you are interested in primitive living, you might have the chance to

And our daily mission is to provide people fresh and yummy veggies which carefully nursed by our mother nature :
- Birds as the guard,
- the microbes as the doctor
- the spring water, the dew ,
- the wind, the sunshine and your big hand
Before decided to stay here as a farmer, I love to WWOOFing around, get to know different culture , meet people and share the experience about their life style.
My daily life is farming in the field, but also loving to do cooking and any kinds of DIY stuff (especially natural building, and handicraft)
My manager Hank is the expert at nursing the bamboo sprout and we are trying to learn more about the variety use
of bamboo, if you have any interest or experiences, please let us know.
Anybody is welcome to share their talent and experiences here. Please enjoy your time during your stay.
