We live and work in agricultural communities. We long to see these communities progress towards equality, sustainability, health and independence.
We built our farm to be a welcoming place where we can model the cultural and community values that we want to flourish and take root in the community.
Sunflower Organic Farm is located in Maechan, a beautiful area north of Chiang Rai. Our farm features a beautiful bamboo and adobe home, organic gardens and orchards, fish ponds, laying hens, a swimming pool and pickleball courts.
Sunflower Farm provides a safe environment for our Daughters as they grow up, jobs for marginalized women, and opportunities for the community to learn, grow and explore.
