The Experience

We’re a slow-living home tucked away in the mountains of Chiang Dao, surrounded by nature, quiet, and big skies. We’re at the early stages of building a future fusion bistro, and we’re looking for a chef who’s already worked in a kitchen or cooked at scale — someone who truly loves food and knows what it takes behind the scenes.

My experience at the farm was the most special possible... I feel that it is definitely a place I will return to and that I genuinely want to see grow and prosper. The place invites you to live present, in the midst of exuberant nature, affectionate animals, art and a very special creative atmosphere. Mark and Aneta are very good and flexible people. I highly recommend it and I hope to come back soon!

My first Worldpackers Volunteer opportunity did NOT disappoint. the farm was AMAZING. Such a great team and the chance to be part of and connect to local and sustainable land projects with locals that was life changing. We worked on a built a mud home in 10-days, and it was such a tremendous learning experience. I was able to see and connect with local community in Chiang the farm which was a beautiful highlight of my trip. The connections and relationships I built with other international travels were also amazing! And I'm headed to China next year to visit folks. Can't wait to come back!

Me and my boyfriend had a great stay at the farm. We stayed as guests, not volunteers, but it's a truly beautiful place with great views, coffee and people, and lovely animals. They were super helpful, we got to use the kitchen freely and stayed in a super cozy cabin. Thank you 🫶🏼

The farm is the kind of place that allows you to slow down. Waking up with an insane view on the mountains, making coffees, taking care of the VERY cute animals, discovering the surroundings etc. All of this in a beautiful environment and at a nice and slow pace ( while still being doing something ofc haha). The accommodation is stunning, the beds are super hard though but ask for a topper, that might help haha. Thanks to Mark, Tommy and Aneta and big shout-out to Rabbit who's an absolute gem, my Thai mom 🤍
