Our recommended stay is 3 days, 2 nights — long enough to actually feel the rhythm of farm life. Stay longer if the hills won't let you go.
Every program is guided by Father Gun, Mother Tomei, and the season — here's the full range of experiences on offer.
Depending on the season, join Father Gun in the paddy fields to plant or harvest rice using traditional, organic methods passed down through generations. Feel the earth between your fingers.
Get hands-on channelling water from the mountains to the paddy fields — a vital part of farming, and a beautiful way to connect with the land's natural flow.
Learn how we prepare our own organic fertilisers and raise animals without commercial chemicals — farming the way nature intended.
Father Gun leads you through the forest, showing you the astonishing variety of food it provides — and why it's so worth protecting.
Find quiet in our bamboo grove, with only insects and a gentle stream for company. The perfect place to clear your mind.
Cool off in the river or take a peaceful morning or evening walk in the hills. Friendly neighbours, breathtaking views, total tranquility.
Depending on the time of year, you might chase fireflies, lie in the fields under a truly dark, starry sky, or go trapping frogs, squirrels, and small animals in the forest with our experienced farmers as your guide.
