FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Here are some of the most frequently asked questions we get so we will try to answer some of them here.

WHEN CAN I COME OUT TO THE FARM?

Day visitors are pretty much welcome anytime. If you would just like to just take a look around, you can come anytime. If you are wanting a tour or more specific visiting time, especially if you want time with someone in particular at the farm, it is best if you schedule in advance in case we have a program running that day or are busy. We do have a coffee shop/shake shop where you can get a drink and maps of the tour for self-guided tours and you are welcome to look around at the buildings and gardens on your own.

CAN I COME AND STAY AT THE FARM?

We take overnight visitors to help work and live with us on the farm during specific times. These times differ depending on our training schedule.  It is best to contact us first to inquire about availability.

Visitors help out with whatever work is happening (gardening, weeding, cooking, building, etc), again depending on the season.  We usually water the gardens during the dry season in this late afternoon time and can always use help with that.

HOW DO I GET TO THE FARM?

We are located around 20km to Surin city in Surin province. Our village is called Amphur Mueang . Usually people make it on their own if they have the directions with them and it is quite difficult to guide people by phone the whole way.

CAN YOU COME BUILD MY ADOBE HOUSE?

We do not build homes for people but focus on education teaching others to build for themselves. We do not have the time to build for others with also running the farm and also believe building to be so simple that we are more excited about empowering others to build themselves.

DO YOU TAKE DONATIONS?

We do take donations which in general go to support our next projects in Baan Piang Ding.

IS BAAN PIANG DIN SELF RELIANT? DO YOU PRODUCE ALL OF YOUR OWN FOOD?

That is our aim. We presently still buy some food from the market as we host so many groups throughout the year. We do grow rice, have fruit trees, vegetable and herb beds, fish ponds, and egg laying chickens.
