Pun Pun Organic Farm/Seed Center and Sustainable Living Learning Center
Chiang Mai, Northern Thailand,
Thailand
 Pun Pun is an organic farm, seed-saving operation, and sustainable living and learning center. We feel that only by living in a sustainable way ourselves is it possible for us to create a model from which others can learn and live.
Through natural cultivation on our organic farm, we display ways of transitioning to and living more sustainably. Through the living and learning center, we experiment with appropriate technologies, organic farming, and natural building techniques. We discover the practices that work well for people and are practical. We then spread this knowledge to those individuals and networks that will put it to use.
Through our seed-saving operation, we seek to bring back indigenous and rare species of all kinds of vegetables, fruits, and medicinal herbs. We propagate them at the farm and then exchange them for greater use amongst farmers and other interested people, thus empowering and improving the health of the general public.
We also host workshops, trainings, and internships on organic farming, seed saving, and earthen building open to Thai and international participants. We live in a community of Thai and international people sharing most aspects of our daily life.
