Review Body: A fascinating experience to learn about bees, and especially the stingless trigona bee, native to tropical areas. Juli is a super knowledgable guide who's enthusiasm and curiosity for bee keeping and farming is infectious. This close up encounter with the bees, learning about their ecosystem and lives (think Game of Thrones level of palace intrigue) makes this typically threatening creature a truly admirable point of interest. Highly recommend!! Walking around the farm and seeing all super interesting and tasty plants (cashew nuts, mulberries, bananas!) around is a bonus!

Review Body: Such a great experience! 🐝 Juli was super informative guide and somehow made me way more interested in bees than I ever expected. Learning how important they are to the farm’s ecosystem was eye-opening. Tasting honey straight from different hives was honestly a core memories, each colony tastes different, which felt like a honey tasting flight 😄 Seeing how they harvest the honey without hurting the bees was really cool too. At one point it genuinely felt like watching a National Geographic episode… but live. Highly recommend!

Review Body: Saifana is a magical place. The food was some of the best we’ve had in Lombok. The team here is warm and welcoming and had so much knowledge to share about the garden, the bees and the cooking. It was very special to share this experience with our family who was visiting Indonesia for the first time. Thank you to everyone at the farm.

Review Body: I highly highly recommend a visit here. I wanted to check out and organic farm while in Indo and I'm so grateful I found Saifana. Right away, we were greeted with the warmest welcome. The host rememebered and referred to us by name throughout the day we were there. We wanted to stay overnight but they were fully booked and I now understand why. We did a cooking class with a young girl who spoke excellent English and together we created the yummiest meal with super fresh and organic ingredients. We couldn't finish it so they put it in the fridge for us and heated it up for us to have for dinner. THey have a little "shop" and a library and some board games in the cafe. Everyone was so so lovely and the whole farm just has really good vibes. I would go back to Lombok just to go to this farm!

The atmosphere is very relaxing and very friendly, we feel that is much more than just a business, but a big family wanting to share. The staff is lovely, products are excellent with very fair price. We took part of the cooking class and we loved it ! Thanks to the lovely staff !

Review Body: Friends and I went on a weekend trip to saifana and participated in their garden tour and cooking class. I can only recommend the place! Their knowledge and passion for regenerative farming is incredible. You learn so much. The family and staff have the happiest vibes. The food is all fresh from the garden. And the animals (along with all of their personalities) are the icing on the cake. ☺️

Review Body: Hidden gem with great staff and delicious organic food straight from the garden. We definitely enjoyed our stay a lot with our family of four. Kids played the whole day in the garden, guesthouse and with the kittens. We did a couple of workshops and learned a lot about gardening and the trigona bees. We recommend this place if you like to live close to nature.

Review Body: Its magic on every level, a beautiful space, people and food. The Sasak Cooking experience is fabulous in the outdoor kitchen cooking over fire. Nia and her assistant walk you through some of the local Sasak customs around life and food and by the end a veritable feast is produced. It’s very special, come hungry!

Meet tiny stingless bees, taste their honey and support a farm doing real good
Most people come to Lombok for the beaches and mountains, but this is a lovely way to experience something much more local and hands-on. You’ll visit a family-run regenerative farm, meet tiny stingless Trigona bees, peek inside their hives and taste honey straight from different colonies.Because Trigona bees don’t sting, you can get right up close without protective gear. You’ll see how they live, take a short walk around the farm to learn where they forage, and understand how they pollinate the herbs, vegetables and fruit trees growing here.Then you’ll taste the honey! The beekeeper harvests only a little from each hive so there’s plenty left for the bees, and each colony produces a slightly different flavour depending on what they’ve been feeding on (how cool is that!). What makes this extra meaningful is that the farm itself is also doing meaningful work in Lombok. The family practises regenerative farming and helps other local farmers move away from damaging monocrops towards more sustainable ways of growing food. They also support women and girls in the surrounding community facing issues including child marriage and domestic abuse.It’s a really cool experience for families, nature lovers, or anyone who wants to do something a little different in Lombok beyond the usual sightseeing.What to ExpectLearn about Trigona bees — tiny, stingless, and vital to the farm’s healthGet an up-close look inside their small wooden hivesLearn how bees play an essential role in sustainable farmingWatch how honey is harvested gently using a knife or spoonTry tasting different honeys — each bee colony produces its own distinct flavourExperience short farm tour to learn where the bees harvest their pollenHear about sustainable beekeeping practices straight from the beekeeperGood to KnowNo protective gear needed — these bees are stingless and totally safeFood, drinks, and transport are not included (transport can be added on)

Maak kennis met je host

Sutikno en zijn vrouw Anne-Sophie begonnen hun reis op Lombok in 2013. Na jaren in het buitenland keerden ze terug naar Indonesië, waar ze voor ontwikkelingsorganisaties werkten in verre landen als Mali en Laos. Ze waren klaar om zich ergens te vestigen en kochten het land zonder het ooit eerst te hebben gezien, om iemand te helpen in een medische noodsituatie. Wat ze aantroffen was droge, rotsachtige grond — maar ze staken de handen uit de mouwen en veranderden die stap voor stap met regeneratieve methodes in een bloeiende boerderij. Door de jaren heen reikt hun betrokkenheid veel verder dan alleen groente verbouwen — inmiddels delen ze hun kennis van duurzame permacultuur op grote schaal binnen de gemeenschap, in de hoop de landbouwpraktijken op het hele eiland te verbeteren en de bodem te laten herstellen van tientallen jaren monocultuur. Ze zetten zich ook in om lokale vrouwen in het noorden van Lombok sterker te maken, vrouwen die te maken hebben met kindhuwelijken en huiselijk geweld, door hun betekenisvol werk te geven en ze Engels te leren. Hun hart stroomt altijd over van liefde en zorg voor hun gemeenschap.
