- A group opportunity. Invite your friends.
Focus on land restoration and/or permaculture in this program, as well as provide support to local schools! Help heal the planet while living a holistic lifestyle with us! Volunteer with Pai Seedlings Foundation for a life-changing experience and a unique chance to become part of our core project.
No need to say the project is ambitious and that you will learn a lot of skills, and maybe bring some new ones? Designing land, building good quality soil, composting, plant associations, growing food, watering and maintaining the garden, harvesting, cooking, building, water filtration, seed saving, beekeeping - these are just some of the aspects for such a great project!
Situated near a traditional village, the farm is nestled in a scenic natural environment of fields and mountains. You will definitely enjoy plenty of hot springs and nature trails nearby! We are located less than five kilometers from Pai where you'll find vibrant nightlife and live music, international food, dance, massage and yoga, as well as a great community of travelers. Pai is located three hours from Chiang Mai International airport in northern Thailand.
You will commit to 4 hours each day within a 4-5-day workweek. Morning is better for farm work, but we can be flexible. The program duration is 3 to 6 months, and accommodation can be arranged for 150 USD per month.

Mission Statement
Pai Seedlings Foundation is a non-profit organization registered by the Thai government. Our goal is to create a positive shift in the farming industry by growing, giving, and sharing with the world the benefits of permaculture farming. We do this in three ways: provide local schools with free organic produce; partner with local restaurants and businesses; and organize educational workshops related to sustainable living.
Description
We are a grassroot family based organization, young and dynamic.
We support and develop different projects.
- Organic Food aims to provide partner schools with organic food by helping them start vegetable gardens and organizing educational workshops on environmental issues.
- Agrotourism involves workshops on a broad range of subjects related to resilience, such as natural farming, cooking, and low technology. It also supports ecotourism by organizing farm stays.
- Fair Trade fosters partnerships with local businesses to promote locally produced organic fruits and vegetables, which in turn supports farmers. - Beekeeping is here to reintroduce bees in the area and by doing so supporting farmers and providing extra income.
