ABOUT US
In 2015, we started a guesthouse and embraced a self-sufficient lifestyle. Through WWOOF, we welcomed volunteers, deepened our connection with nature, and became more aware of environmental issues like climate change, soil erosion, and species extinction. This inspired us to focus on environmental education and build a like-minded community.
In 2019, we launched a community project, but COVID-19 forced us to pause. We resumed in 2023, and from 2025 onwards, most of our WWOOF volunteer efforts will be dedicated to this project.
Our 1,400 sqm community space features a mini food forest, an ecological pond, a spice garden, a vegetable greenhouse, a workshop area, volunteer dormitories, a seedling zone, a tool storage area, rainwater collection facilities, and a café. Our goal is to show how a small piece of land can produce diverse, high-quality food while supporting biodiversity.

STAY DETAILS
📍 Location: We are in Kulai, 30km from Johor Bahru, near Singapore. You can reach us by bus, train, or plane. Feel free to ask for travel advice.
⏳ Working Hours: 7.30 AM – 12 PM (depending on weather and physical condition), 6 days a week.
📅 Minimum stay: 2 weeks.
If you plan to stay longer than one month, we can arrange a flexible weekend schedule, giving you time to travel and visit nearby towns during your off-days.
🏡 Accommodation: Volunteers stay in a shared dormitory (up to 8 people) within the community space. Facilities are basic but include a bathroom, toilet, and kitchen.
🌱 Work Location: Primarily at the community farm, but sometimes at our guesthouse’s farm (a 10-minute walk from the hostel).
🦟 Environment: Malaysia’s climate is extremely humid, which may feel uncomfortable at times. There can also be many insects and mosquitoes.
MEALS
🍽 I will provide sufficient nutritious ingredients (mostly vegetarian) in the freezer and common areas, so volunteers can prepare their own three daily meals.
On most working days, I usually prepare lunch, and we’ll enjoy it together as a shared meal.
