The route
The fine print
Resident English-speaking farmers will be your hosts and demonstrate the various activities.
You can buy instant boxed rice from either Uncle Ben's or some other corporate brand, microwave it for two minutes, and it's ready to eat. But do you know what it takes to cultivate, harvest, and prepare rice before it is ready to eat? It takes a lot more than two minutes in the microwave. This unique half-day activity invites you on an in-depth, hands-on learning experience where you will participate in 14 steps of the rice cycle on the Living Lands community farm.
