The Experience

A deep dive into Vietnam’s soul

Trade the traffic and noise for open fields, orchards and the unhurried pace of village life. This is not a photo stop — you’ll get your hands in the soil, share stories with the families who farm it, and leave with skills, flavours and produce that are genuinely your own.

Authentic Farming

Work side-by-side with local farmers in the heart of the delta. Learn traditional techniques and feel the pulse of rural life.

Seasonal Harvest

Explore vibrant orchards and vegetable patches and hand-pick fresh produce to enjoy on-site or take home as a gift from the land.

Sustainable Impact

Your visit directly supports higher incomes for local farming families and helps preserve ancient crafts for future generations.

Guest Stories

Loved by travellers

Real stories from travellers who spent a day farming in the Red River Delta.

“This tour was truly life changing. The beauty of the farm and the work the farmers do every single day is humbling. The care for seasonal, local product is inspiring and we will carry this experience with us forever. The tour guides and the local farmers were all very educating and passionate about what they were doing. From getting our hands dirty planting and harvesting vegetables, to working the fields and sweating underneath the beating Viet Nam sun. We were eating fruits straight off the vine and peeling and cooking fresh local corn. We couldn’t recommend this experience enough.”

“This tour was genuinely the best thing my friend and I have done. We woke up pretty tired but very quickly we were met with absolute calmness and hospitality by Lana, our host. She ensured we were fed before our journey and continuously documented our experience in the most beautiful way. The day didn’t feel like a typical tour, it felt like we had been invited and embraced by a community which we were told we can go back to whenever we like. The day was filled with novel experiences, storytelling and the most beautiful expression of Vietnamese hospitality. Go on this tour, you won’t regret it.”

“This was the most amazing excursion we booked. Lana is a very bright and motivated woman who takes care of all the aspects of the tour by herself. The activity is very new as we were the third visitors, but everything went super smooth. We harvested our own food and prepared an amazing meal. We also learned how to weave a hammock, very interesting. This trip is perfect for people who want something else than all the touristic highlights of Hanoi and for those who want to experience the local life of Hanoi farmers. 100% would recommend!!”
