Depart from your hotel and cycle approximately 30 minutes through the scenic countryside to Tra Que Herb Village, a charming community known for its fragrant organic vegetables that enrich many traditional Hoi An dishes.
Upon arrival, take a leisurely walk through the vegetable gardens while learning about the history and unique farming techniques of the village. Then, roll up your sleeves and join local farmers in daily gardening activities such as preparing the soil, fertilizing with seaweed, raking, sowing seeds, watering, and harvesting fresh vegetables.
After your farming experience, enjoy an optional relaxing herbal foot soak before heading to a local family home.
Here, take part in a hands-on cooking session, where you will learn to prepare traditional regional dishes such as “Tam Huu” (spring rolls with herbs and pork) and “Banh Xeo” (Vietnamese savory pancakes). Afterward, sit down and enjoy a delicious homemade meal prepared by you and your host.
Following lunch, learn more about harvesting and preparing fresh vegetables before bidding farewell to your host family. Cycle back to your hotel, concluding your enriching countryside experience.
