We are a Thai German family with two kids, Woo and Aod, and my mother, Ikeao.
I grew up in Newtau Village and know all about Thai Lanna culture. I make lots of traditional handcrafts and know about traditional farming and cooking.
My German husband moved to Thailand about 6 years ago. His hobbies are handcraft and he builds drums, didgeridoos and traditional art sculptures. He is also very spiritual and practices Shamanism and works with Nature Devas.
My mother, Ikeao, also has a lot of knowledge about gardening herbs, vegetables and flowers, such as orchids. From these, she cooks delicious traditional Lanna cuisine.
We believe in the health and environmental benefits of organically produced fruits and vegetables and grow them using locally found materials. We also want to teach the local Lanna people how to produce organic produce.
Our house is at the end of Newtau South. About 200m from our house is the Newtau Drum Homes. The homes were built by local people using bamboo and is in the teak tree forest. It has an open kitchen and large sheltered area where you can eat and play drums. There are 2 farmlands, one for vegetables and banana, papaya and on the other land, we want to plant many different fruit trees.
