Pai Seedlings Foundation

I had the opportunity to intern at Pai Seedlings Foundation, and it was a deeply enriching experience for me as a student in agriculture. My time there exposed me to organic farming practices, permaculture principles, and holistic approaches to sustainable agriculture, which helped me see farming beyond just production and more as a balanced, living system. Moreover, I learned a lot about sustainable farming practices, while also helping me understand the role of community-oriented agricultural work. Lyse and Damien were very supportive and generous with their knowledge along with other international volunteers. They encouraged discussion, hands-on learning, and critical thinking, making the internship both practical and reflective. The environment was welcoming and purpose-driven, and I always felt that learning and sustainability were at the core of everything they did. This internship strengthened my appreciation for organic agriculture and reinforced my commitment to pursuing a career in sustainable and community-oriented farming. I’m very grateful for the experience and would highly recommend Pai Seedlings Foundation to students and anyone interested in permaculture and sustainable agriculture. To make it short, I felt very welcome during my time in Pai.

Pai Seedling Foundation I had a wonderful 5 days in Pai Seedling Foundation volunteering as a videographer to documents the life in the farm and the biochar making process. Lyse and Damien are very special. Their vision and their core values are so inspiring. They are not only working hard to create this dream for themselves and their family but also their local community and beyond. I would definitely want to return for longer and spend more time in the farm and learn. Thank you for everything!🌼

Awesome place to be if you want peace and harmony from the party Pai scenes. Amazing what the owner did to make the place a perma-culture farming and sustainable living. Definitely we will be back again!!
