For many years now, Sampran Riverside has been working with the local community to bring back the farm to its former glory. Sookjai Organic Farm project is managed by local villagers and Sampran Riverside. There, we grow fruits, vegetables, herbs and lotus with fertilizers made from waste materials such as leaves. At the back of the farm, we are also raise ducks and hens for organic eggs. The organic produces are used in our restaurants and as raw materials for our herbal products with the remaining sold at our Sookjai Weekend Farmers’ Market. Our goal is to be a model farm for the local community to go back to their organic ways and stop using chemical fertilizers and pesticides.
