Know before you go: Resident English-speaking farmers will be your hosts and demonstrate the various activities.; You can buy instant boxed rice from either Uncle Ben's or some other corporate brand, microwave it for two minutes, and it's ready to eat.

This unique half-day activity invites you on an in-depth, hands-on learning experience where you will participate in 14 steps of the rice cycle on the Living Lands community farm.
