  • Description

    Description

    "We paused our volunteer program back in 2020 because of COVID, but the wait is over! We are finally reopening our volunteer opportunities to everyone."

    We are a group of individual small-scale farmers who collaborate and support one another regularly. We aim to adopt eco-friendly farming practices as much as possible. We each have our own thinking and approach to sustainable agriculture, but with a common goal to be kinder to the environment. No chemical products are used on our farms. Our produce includes rice, taro, water bamboo shoots, vegetables, pomelos etc.We are willing to share our experiences with you. If you want to experience the life of farmer, welcome to join us.
