It is always a good idea to get the body moving and taking a deep inhale of fresh air, which is why this tour begins with an exciting bicycle ride to a local farm in Tra Que Village. When we arrive, you will be given an introduction to the history of the village. This short lesson provides a lot of interesting information about the cultivation of vegetables and discovering their uses in traditional Vietnamese medicine. You will take a trip around the vegetable garden and join the farmers in preparing and fertilizing the land with algae from the local lake. Other activities will include: raking, sowing, picking greens and much more. After our time with the farmers, we will be working the land until it is time to prepare some special foods with a local family. You will enjoy Tam Huu spring roll (“packed with pork, prawn, mint and coriander”) and Banh Xeo (“rice flour, bean sprouts, shrimp and slices of pork - the local pancakes from the central region of Vietnam”). This tour gives you an authentic glimpse into the traditional lives of the people in this village.
