Satom Organic Farm, Ubon Ratchathani

Organic farming meets rural tourism at this working agricultural site in Ubon Ratchathani’s countryside, where visitors can experience authentic farm life while learning about sustainable growing practices. Satom Organic Farm operates as both a productive agricultural enterprise and educational center, offering city dwellers and international travelers alike a chance to understand how traditional Thai farming methods combine with modern organic techniques to produce chemical-free crops.

Walking through the farm’s various cultivation areas reveals a diverse range of organic vegetables, herbs, and rice paddies that change with Thailand’s agricultural seasons. You’ll observe farmers tending to their crops using traditional tools and methods passed down through generations, while the rich earthy scent of composted soil fills the air. Interactive demonstrations show how natural fertilizers are prepared and applied, and visitors can participate in planting, weeding, or harvesting activities depending on the season. The farm also maintains demonstration plots showcasing different organic growing techniques, from companion planting to natural pest control methods using beneficial insects and locally-sourced organic sprays.

Peace pervades this rural setting, broken only by the gentle sounds of farm work and occasional lowing of water buffalo in nearby fields. The experience connects visitors directly with Thailand’s agricultural heritage, offering a refreshing contrast to urban environments. Children particularly enjoy the hands-on activities, while adults appreciate learning about sustainable living practices they can potentially apply in their own gardens or communities back home.

Early morning visits around 10 AM offer cooler temperatures and peak activity levels as farmers begin their daily routines. The farm is accessible by private transport or arranged tours from Ubon Ratchathani city center, approximately a 30-minute drive through scenic countryside. Bring sun protection, comfortable walking shoes, and clothes you don’t mind getting dirty if you plan to participate in farming activities. This authentic agricultural experience provides valuable insights into sustainable farming while supporting local community tourism initiatives.
