PROGRAM INTRODUCTION
Some trips are for rest. Some trips are for rolling up your sleeves, to understand where a grain of rice or a fish comes from.
The “A Day as a Farmer” program at Gió Núi Farmstay — the first VAC (Garden – Pond – Barn) model in Mường Cốc open to visitors — turns travelers into real farmers for a day: feed fish, herd buffalo, catch fish, harvest vegetables, then cook a Farm to Table meal with your own hands from the very produce just harvested.
This is a practical product of the circular agriculture model – Farm to Table – Net Zero, spreading the spirit of responsible and regenerative tourism.
