    Hello! My name is Kwan. I left my job in 2011 to became a farmer in order to pursued answers for my life long questions - why do farmers are so poor and does natural farming really work.

    I began all this by taking over a 12 acres orchard farm since 2011 and converted it to a certified organic one. However, to make it become a real agro-ecology farm, there are still a lot to do. This is not only about stop using pesticide and chemical fertilizer, but also changing the way we live our lives. We have an ambition to make it as eco-friendly as possible and, hopefully; it will become a learning center for people who want to live a sustainable/self reliance life.

    Intercambio cultural y oportunidades de aprendizaje

    Natural farming/ecological farming:
    - Workawayers will learn how to farm in a natural way.
    - Participants will see by themselves whether natural farming is the solution to the present day agriculture or not.
    - Participants will be able to apply the farming practice to their own project.

    Authentic cultural experience:
    - By living/working in a farm that is operated by the local people in a non-touristic area, workawayers will exposed themselves to a genuine local experience.
    - There are not many hosts on the east of Thailand that open their houses for volunteers. So, your experience will be unique.

    Site visits:
    - We are taking our volunteers to places in the province once a week. Although our location is not located in a touristic area, there are plenty of beautiful sites in the province to visit such as waterfall, mountain and beaches.

    Algo más...

    It doesn't matter if you have an previous experience in a farm. We are interested in what you are willing to do more than where you have been or what you have done.

    We are more than happy to answer questions from people who have genuine interests in our project. To show that you are truly interested to join us and have fully read our profile, please put the phase "No WiFi Provided" in your first sentence when writing an email to us.

    I enjoy listening to silence. If you need to listen to loud music all the time, a headphone is strongly advised.

    We also take our volunteers to visit local sites at least once a week. Those places could be waterfall, beaches, local market and etc, which depends mainly on the weather.
