  Descrição

  Join us
  
  Our organic farm is located in Pua city, within Nan province, in Northern Thailand.
  Currently, we are working on building more natural buildings on the farm, including bamboo huts and fences, and wooden houses.
  We have two water buffalo on our farm, named Tony and Laura. You will be able to help me take them to the river every day to clean them, and so they can cool off from the hot sun.
  
  We are a local family with a desire to preserve our simple, sustainable way of life so that we can give back to and protect mother earth.
  You are welcome to join me in meditation and yoga every morning to prepare our minds and bodies for the day’s work.
  
  Volunteers will work 4-5 hours per day, five days per week. You will have two full days off to explore the town of Pua and surrounding towns.
  
  Responsibilities will vary according to what needs to be done on the farm each day. Our motto is “Learn by doing”, so don’t worry if you don’t have any of the skills listed below, as we are very happy to teach you practically task-by-task.
  Tasks could include: chopping down trees and preparing the wood for building, carpentry through the building of wooden houses; building bamboo structures; building structures from nature; construction work such as laying cement, painting, and varnishing; preparing the land for farming; small tasks around the property like cleaning and maintenance; preparing and cleaning rooms for guests of the homestay; assisting me in my pizza restaurant some evenings when guests come for pizza (it’s a lot of fun and delicious!); assistance with the marketing of my farm and website development.
  
  We also have a vegetable garden that will provide you with three organic and nutritious meals every day. Meals are northern Thai style and all vegetarian (pescatarian options available too), but most importantly they are delicious and made with love .
  You will have a private Thai cabin to yourself and shared bathrooms. We believe in a simple way of life, and so you will have bedding and a mosquito net, with access to electricity in the common area of the farm.
  
  During your free time, you will be able to enjoy the beauty of nature that surrounds our farm, which is on the edge of large mountains and valleys. We will also provide activities and adventures to local caves and waterfalls, as well as mountain trekking. If you would like, you can also learn cultural handcrafts such as weaving and natural cotton, as well as natural tie dying.
  
  I wish to create a relaxing place that allows people from all over the world to take their time to experience life in harmony with nature.
