Pun Pun Organic Farm and center for self reliance

Pun Pun is a small organic farm and learning centre in Mae Taeng, outside Chiang Mai, that runs a living seed bank of rare and indigenous plants. Seeds are grown out on the farm and then shared with the public, who can request them by post, phone or email. Its seed saving handbook (in Thai, English and Chinese) helps other growers keep their own seed.

Founded in 2003 by Jon Jandai and Peggy Reents, Pun Pun focuses on bringing seed saving back into the hands of farmers and growers rather than storing seed away. The centre aims to build a network of people saving seed for themselves, and runs workshops and courses in natural building, food and self-reliance alongside its seed work.
