Itinerary
8:30 – Pick you from your address in Hoi An, we start the day with a warm-up cycling through the its picturesque countryside. We’ll pass the local rice fields, orchards and maybe also a market for a closer look to our everyday life.
Arrival at at a village pier and now it’s time to take for a short ride in a traditional basket boat wandering through the channels of Nipa palms (aka Coco-palm) mangrove forest.
Disembark from the ride, we proceed to our Thanh Dong – an organic farm run by the village seniors. Here you will be welcomed by local farmers who will happily share with you their story about this community-based project. Following an interesting conversation, you’ll be invited to join in their daily work, such as applying organic manure, making organic pesticides to control and prevent pests, cultivate the soil for planting and watering.
On completion of the gardening, you will return to the farmers house and use the produce harvested from the organic vegetable garden to cook a Vietnamese lunch with our host. Enjoy lunch with the dishes you’ve cooked at a garden-setting table (weather permitting). Back to your hotel at around 13:00 by bicycle. Ends of our services.
