Descrição
We are a family-run eco-farm and newly registered nonprofit organization , located in beautiful Loei, Thailand. What started as a small garden-to-table family farm has now grown into a much larger mission: to build a community-based learning and growing space focused on sustainability, creativity, and compassion.
Our work combines organic farming (mushrooms, cacao, herbs, and more), tree planting, supporting elderly workers and children from low-income backgrounds, and crafting meaningful experiences for both locals and international volunteers.
At the heart of everything we do are our core values: caring, creativity, kindness, and connection. We warmly welcome our guests as part of our extended family and hope they will embrace these values, showing respect and appreciation for this community, the people of Thailand, and all living beings.
We believe that everyone has unique gifts and talents to share, and we look forward to seeing how yours can contribute to this special space. For you, our home will be “Sabai Jai”—a place of happiness, peace, and freedom of mind.
