Description
Dear Workawayers, welcome to our Farm:
I'm a VET, a young farmer after working 2 years in Denmark, 1 year in Israel, 1 year in Singapore, traveling around the world to 20 countries, I think about my hometown. I want to build an organic farm, do agriculture like Denmark, saving the tradional agriculture value.
On the way go to that dream, HIEN is always beside to me. She is my wife who will take care of you when I am not home.
Besides, I hope every kid and young generation can learn many new things about agriculture and have the oppotunity to communicate in English. So, I also have some English classes in the evening with Kids (5-16y). If you know how to teach English, that's perfect.
Our farm is build in Quang Nam which a countryside in the midde of Vietnam, an authentic village where less of the tourists but a lot of real Vietnamese culture, 25km from Hoi An Acient town, 12km to a Natural waterfall and 25km from The world cultural heritage My Son, 40km from Da Nang City.
We started working on the farm from October 2020.
We design a garden of 8000m2 and the farmland needs a lot of attention. Now we have 2 cows, chickens, 3 dogs and some goats and pigs. We are still growing some trees such as orchards, jackfruit, pineapple, forestry trees, medicinal herbs, vegetables,...
We appreciate all that nature has to offer us, so we hope those who enjoy doing this kind of outdoor work and appreciate nature.
We have some Vietnamese students intern at the farm. Our house is close to the farm (500m) so we usually go home by motorbike or take a walk.
We are welcome all kind of skills to come to us. If you have experience in agriculture, agroforestry or aquaculture, we would like to invite you to stay. Sharing knowledge to help us develop a better farm in the future and explore the motherland and build value for this land.
In the future, we will build accommodation farm, educational farm and small museum with traditional agriculture.
