Meet your host
Pak Gede and his wife have been working to create a sustainable farming business model for the Bali Farmers Community by creating a unique tour in the rural farming area of the island. They believe that by joining one of their experiences you are directly helping the sustainability of Bali's environment and supporting small traditional farmers. It's a great cultural and natural exchange giving travellers an insider view of Bali of a more human perspective.
