Farming Experience

We have our own organic farm where we grow a large variety of vegetables and foodstuff for you to enjoy. Here you can learn the technique of growing them traditionally and you are welcome to join with the farmer to learn planting, treating and harvesting process.

Working with Buffalos

Traditionally, buffalo were a major source of wealth for Southeast Asian families. They still are favoured in highland wet-rice areas where neither humans not machinery can move as easily through the deep, sticky mud fields. We do work in partnership with the local in the process of farming within our lodge. Here you can experience how these beast and human form a partnership in terms of working and safeguarding the environment.

Milking Cows

Milking a cow could be of a real-life experience and can be of a super fun. When we aren’t working on creating stories to pitch to real-life news outlets, we get to do a lot of awesome things. You never know when you might need to be able to milk a cow. In reality it gives a warmth touch and you are communicating with the cow touching with the hearts.
