Chiang Mai Ginger Farm Activity, where your farmer dreams come true

🌾Chiang Mai Ginger Farm Activity, where your farmer dreams come true. This is a detailed introduction to the parent-child farm in Chiang Mai. The farm is located at One Nimman, with a highly acclaimed restaurant - Ginger Farm Kitchen. Today we are participating in their farm-to-table activity, spending a day living the farmer's life. Take a Grab from Nimman Road, which costs 200 Thai Baht. The driver, Toto, is very friendly; he told us that he could pick us up a bit later, just give him a call about ten minutes in advance. We arrived at Ginger Farm at 9:30 am and signed up for the 10 am activity. It's important to note that if you arrive late, there might be no spots left. A family from the USA who came after us really wanted to join the activity but it was already closed. You can also book through Facebook. The activity is well worth it because some areas are only accessible to participants. The activity fee is 390 Thai Baht per person, including lunch, with a uniform price for everyone. We also spent 350 Thai Baht on a set of traditional Thai children's clothing, similar to what we wore at the elephant camp. In Chiang Mai, this type of clothing is worn by children to school every Friday, and also by waiters and mahouts as their work uniform. The denim material of the outfit is very comfortable, with a loose-fitting top and pants. By the way, buying this set of clothing at the Hug Elephant Camp would cost 800 Thai Baht. Then we started our day as little farmers! The 10 am activity began with an introduction to the farm's operations, explained in both Thai and English. The organizers did a great job, and the explanation was very detailed. They introduced crayfish, crabs, earthworms, and even earthworm feces, which are said to be very helpful for growing organic food. Next up was farming! They introduced raincoat kale and spinach seeds, giving the children a chance to get up close and personal with the soil and crops. After sowing, we went to the chicken coop, where everyone got some chicken feed to feed the chickens, and then we continued to collect eggs. After completing this part, we returned to the classroom for a break. They prepared delicious longan tea and snacks. All the children had milk to drink. After snack time, we went to pick rapeseed to feed the rabbits. The farm also has rabbits, goats, and piglets. Additionally, we could pay an extra 20 Thai Baht to buy cucumbers to feed the animals. The star of the farm is a big water buffalo! The children were very happy when bathing the water buffalo, which had a very gentle look in its eyes. Two-year-old ** kept touching the buffalo's nose. The most popular activity on the farm is the mud slide. The children were very happy after sliding down the mud slide. However, two-year-old ** complained about wet pants and too much mud, haha! Afterward, we went to take a shower. The morning activity included lunch. The simple and rustic organic fried rice and soup had a unique sweetness. The farm's big haystack is also a great spot for photos. In short, bring spare clothes, let the children play to their heart's content, and then change them. After the activity ends and lunch is enjoyed, the farm becomes very lively, with many foreigners arriving. After 1 pm, you can participate in other parent-child activities, such as painting, making scarecrows, and feeding animals, etc. My daughter kept playing in the sand and simply refused to leave... In summary, for families traveling at a slow pace in Chiang Mai, setting aside such a morning for the children is definitely worth it (then you can go back for a nap to recharge, arranging it to be relaxed and comfortable~).
