Organic agriculture, the nutritional and medicinal values of herbs, how to process and use herbs in daily life, food safety and agricultural tourism.
Connecting and inspiring
For millions of years, we humans have constantly impacted nature and developed technology to create a new social and economic life. However, humans also have been harming the balance of nature, creating many products containing toxic chemicals that are harmful to our health. This creates a generation with many material benefits but less health, less happiness, diseases related to eating have increased as well as increases neurological diseases like stress and depression which can sometimes lead to violence.
Therefore, we want to create an environment where people, and especially the younger generations, can connect closely with nature to be nourished, healed and have a healthier, happier life. An Farm will be a place where people who want to heal can come, walk, and garden for free. Every guest who comes to An Farm can share knowledge and connect with nature through the fragrance and beauty of herbs, through delicious dishes and drinks. From there, we hope to inspire people to have more love for nature, understand the value of natural products for health, and how to use herbs in life in simple and enjoyable ways.
In addition, with a completely organic farm model that is simple, low-cost and sustainable, we hope to share it with farmers in the region so they can learn and gradually replace current farming methods which use many toxic chemicals.
Furthermore, An Farm also connects and inspires partners to bring tourists to experience agricultural tourism, green tourism and use many local organic products to improve service quality while promoting the regional economy.
During monthly community activities, we organize many free workshops on agriculture, nutrition, agricultural tourism, processing etc. to connect and inspire young people in rural areas, which they can develop agricultural tourism and valuable organic products when they return to their homelands.
An Farm is just a small farm, nothing big, so An Farm just wants to be like a small flower bringing a little fragrance to life with what we have. We want to share – connect – inspire people to nurture the earth and nurture plants so that mother nature can nurture humans.
