The farm Saos farm was a truly wonderful experience. He taught me how to make a fire, cook local dishes, identify local plants, and I event got to try the Karen Tribe weaving with Mama Sao. I was sick before I arrived and he made me herbal remedies and I felt better right away. Not much farm work as it was dry season but it was very relaxing and good for the soul.

The experience we went through in the farm was incredibly nourishing for our souls, minds and tummies, if you feel like meeting real Karen community, sleep with thr sound of nature and learn about many ways to enjoy life this is the place where you will learn the art of living, Thank you the farm and Mama Sao!!

The farm immediately greeted us with open arms, jokes and smiles. His farm is beautiful with traditional Karen amenities. Sleeping was comfortable but BASIC. the farm LOVED to feed us! He made food from scratch each meal and we learned some cooking techniques. During the day there wasn't much to do because it is the dry season. I plowed the field once, helped cut bamboo to build a roof, learned how to weave, played with his grandkids, and spent a lot of time practicing a song the farm was teaching me on his guitar. We went to the market, the school next door and the strawberry festival intown
