We provide in-depth courses and workshops centered around Permaculture, self-reliance, low technology, beekeeping, and natural building. Our mission is not only to teach valuable skills but also to promote organic agriculture in the valley, ensuring the community thrives.
One of our key initiatives involves donating all excess crops and organic vegetables to schools in Pai. This act supports children in the community, providing them with healthy meals that contribute to their growth and development. By fostering connections within the community, we help instill a culture of health and well-being among the younger generation.
Our immersive workshops and courses, ranging from one to four days, are designed to spark interest and deepen knowledge about sustainable practices. Travelers have the unique chance to engage directly with nature, learning eco-friendly techniques while enjoying the tranquil surroundings of our farm.

Pai Seedlings Foundation FARM is perched on a picturesque hilltop overlooking 64/3 Moo 1 Vieng Nuea, 58130, Thailand
I had a great time on a one-day workshop with Lise and Damien helping to plant a variety of small fruit trees. It was wonderful to spend a day there getting dirty, learning heaps and enjoying stunning views of the Pai valley! I had virtually no farming experience so felt like a complete novice, but their warm and welcoming presence really made me feel at home. And I learnt a lot about the healthy benefits of working with the soil and how to make sure young saplings get the support and nutrition they need – all completely organic of course. Highly recommend this experience!
Really enjoyed every moment of our time with Damien and Lyse. Spent the morning getting some hands on experience in a permaculture garden and learnt more about Pai Seedlings’ positive impact on the local community. In the afternoon we learnt all about the day to day lives of bees and suited up to get up close and personal with them.Would highly recommend to anyone visiting Pai :)!
I visited Pai for a couple of weeks for the natural construction workshop in April. Lyse and Damien were very accommodating and made me feel at home instantly. The workshop was amazing – we learned a lot and had fun at the same time. The sense of community with them is strong and if you’re looking for a rewarding, educational experience then I would definitely recommend.Asides from the workshop, Pai is a beautiful town and Damien and Lyse often recommended the best hidden gems to visit, as well as organising meals for all those on the workshop to bond.I am excited to go back and visit again sometime soon!
I had the opportunity to visit the project and participate in a natural building Workshop, where we learnt how to use clay to build walls! It was definitely an amazing experience with such a nice people and vibe.The place where the project is located it’s simply amazing, natural and surrounded by mountains
It seems everyday we hear how important bees are to our ecosystem and how quickly we are losing them. I’ve been wondering if beekeeping might be something I could incorporate into my life/property and this workshop was a great way to dive right in! From learing about bee reproduction & development, communication, community structure, work activities, defense, threats, etc. to the design, construction, cleaning, maintenance, and evaluation of the hive. It was hands-on and interractive.
Damien and Lyse have built such an incredible place in the beautiful farmlands just outside of Pai. My partner and I loved spending time with them and learning through fun and informative workshops all about the basics of permaculture, how to make our own soap and shampoo, natural building, and even what it takes to care for bees! Their approach to life– using what the earth can give us to live in a sustainable way, taking care of ourselves, our community, and our planet– is so inspirational. They are even working to partner with the local schools so that nearby children can enjoy/learn about organic fruits and veggies. Everyone needs to experience this place. Thank you guys for what you do, and keep up the great work!
I visited the farm for a few hours with Lyse showing me around and sharing the knowledge and Damien cooking a yummy organic lunch! Very inspired by their efforts and I hope other people can start eco-friendly conscious communities like these.
Im glad to have had this experience of Transition Course with 4 days of insights in different topics, challenges and rewards that such farm comes with 🙂 it was nice to see such young farm and family and be part of their lives for a few hours. To see different lifestyles is definitelt opening perspectives. The family is super nice and they are doing a good job 🙂 thanks for having me, i will spread the word.
Amazing location with a beautiful view of the mountains 360 view from an awesome natural bamboo structure. Tasty and productive garden but best of all are the kind souls that have made this place what it is; Lyse, Damien, Kenji and Anh Dao. Such a special place for so many possibilities to expand your learning and experiences.
We stayed 2 weeks in Pai Seedlings Foundation, a wonderful place leading by 2 beautiful people inside and out, Lyse & Damien and their child . We learned so much about the base of life : nature and human. We participated of some workshop like natural wall building with others volonteers from all around the world, gardening, bee keeping, have so many discussions about all topics. It was an amazing experience in the heart of nature. Lyse & Damien help us to be kind with our nature, demonstrating how can we build, create a lot of things without industrial companies. And how to take care of our nature which is in danger… So, thank you. Now, we will follow the next step because they have a big project to receive and meet more people in a unique place. We recommand at 200% the sensibilisation of this project.
