Nok and family are farmers but have been growing potato and rice for many years. The family now moves away from growing cash crop but would like to grow fruits and vegetables and just sufficient rice for the family. We grow what we want to eat and just enough to eat and share to our neighbors whatever surplus from our needs.

The family believes that this is the way we will reduce our reliance from processed food and vegetables where we don't know how clean it was. As it is said, we just wanted to have our like minded guest to join our mission.
