Bang Khonthi, Samut Songkhram

Fresh fruit from a mixed orchard, not a drop of chemicals

Nam Hom coconuts, Namwa and Hak Muk bananas and papayas grow side by side on raised beds between the canals of Bang Khonthi. We tend them the organic, regenerative way, so the soil stays alive and the fruit grows at nature's pace.

  • No herbicides
  • No growth accelerators
  • No chemicals — 100% organic inputs
  • Diverse, mixed planting
  • Regenerative farming

Our farm

A Samut Songkhram canal orchard

Our farm is a traditional Mae Klong raised-bed orchard. Water runs in the canals between the beds, and on the beds young Nam Hom coconut palms grow among bananas, papayas and many other fruit trees.

Dry leaves and banana stems cover the soil under the trees. No herbicide is sprayed, so grasses and little plants get to share the orchard too.

Who organic farming is good for

We've summarised what the ReCAP project (a Thai–German regenerative coconut farming project) found about who benefits from organic, soil-building farming.
  • Soil that's alive

    Good soil is full of tiny life, and it helps plants stay strong on their own.

  • Soil that holds water

    Soil rich in organic matter soaks up the rain and stays moist through dry spells.

  • A home for bees and friends

    Mixed planting and no chemical sprays turn an orchard into a home for bees, helpful insects and soil life.
