North Star Café and Farmstay
✅ Are you searching for an extraordinary experience and wanting to learn about organic farming?
✅ Do you intend to travel eco-friendly and give back to the communities?
✅ Would you like to find a quiet space to relax?
The North Star Café and Farmstay, located in the midst of paddy fields and mountains in Chiang Rai/Northern Thailand is now open for everyone to experience the beautiful nature and organic farm life style.
Once there are no other sounds than the wind and the birds, your body and mind can slow down and give space to the present moment. Maybe you enjoy watching the birds or the everchanging scenery and sunsets at the mountain range, the sleeping women.
Perhaps you want to spend the peaceful time on the bamboo terrace to journal, draw or take pictures. Staying in a house built from clay, bamboo and natural materials feels like home.
Enjoy your breakfast on your private terrace or join us in the common space of the North Star Café, which is part of our main farmhouse (the family house). The offering of natural and fresh products is especially important to us.
About The Farm
The North Star Café and Farmstay is a social enterprise run by the NGO “BAAN DOI – Home and Healing Center for Children (baandoi.org). It is located at the North Star Organic Farm and has been build up in cooperation with the project BASEhabitat, architecture for change, University of Arts Linz, Austria (basehabitat.org) and our permaculture teacher Mr. Sandot Sukkaew from Sahainan permaculture farm, Nan, Northern Thailand (sahainan.org).
Next to caring for children in need and caring for the community we also care for the environment and the protection of nature. We wanted to create a space, in which our children and families learn and practice how to grow their own organic food. At the same time, we intended to create living and working space for young people.
That’s how the project found its way into existence, it has been planned and build up from 2019 to 2025 by turning a regular rice field into a diverse organic farm. The current farm consists of 20%water bodies, 30%rice fields, 10%vegetable gardens, 15% animals and forage, 25% living area/café& farm stay.
The buildings at the farm have been carefully planned and constructed by using natural materials like clay bricks and renewable resources like bamboo, which give them a special touch and comfortable atmosphere.
