Help us Start our New Urban Farm in Yangon

"Daring greatly means the courage to be vulnerable, it means to show up and be seen. To ask what you need..."

Over the last two years, Kokkoya has had the pleasure to host many of the Yangon community on our productive farm in North Dagon. This success has encouraged us to develop Kokkoya Organics, enabling our expansion in productivity and we envisage increasing engagement with the Yangon community on our new site.

Eating like a farmer

Eating like a farmer

Over the last years at Kokkoya, we have had many visitors express a dream to do similar. In particular to live a self-sufficient lifestyle, growing and producing what they need. Living off the land, being connected to nature, seasons etc ..

But this romanticised notion of feeding yourself often overlooks the crucial aspect that it takes a community to feed a community.

Summary of the places we visited in Bali


• In July, I had an opportunity to attend ‘Bio-intensive Growing Workshop by an expert Jodi Roebuck’ in The Kul Kul Farm, Bali. Moreover, it’s such a valuable trip to know more about other organic farms like this – the story of it, how is it going, the market access and also community. I also had a chance to know about the climate and soil fertility in Bali which is a gift of nature for Balinese so every plant can be grown easily,  the Balinese culture, spirit, and food. In Bali, we visited 7 places in total as follow.


1. Island Organics
• An organic farm with over 50 varieties of crops cultivation has a strong restaurant market as Bali has plenty of tourists. There are 12 staffs who are doing well in daily farm process in 3 acres land. One thing I impress the founder Rama is his managing skill in 3 acres of land without any wastes of any produces. This farm can produce a lot of crops with an average income of $1500 per day. Every crop harvested per day is always sold out as his motto – a successful farmer is who can sell everything that he grows. He also cooperates with the well-known certified organic company to build customer trust easily. We learned about his crop rotation system, nursery propagation, and his business. This farm gives us motivation to grow, harvest and sell the crops every day to get more income.

2. The Kul Kul Farm
• The Kul Kul Farm is 2 mins walk from Green School. It can be regarded as our dream farm as everything is systematic and organized. During the farm tour, we learned about the composting system, systematic farm tools keeping, composting toilet, greenhouse, and nursery. The bamboo architecture on this farm is very beautiful and impressive as all the buildings on the farm are built of bamboo. The farm hosts many effective workshops concerning permaculture design, bamboo building, and gardening to create beautiful and sustainable living systems. In Kul Kul farm, we attended ‘Bio-intensive Growing Workshop by Jodi Roebuck’ from which we got a lot of knowledge, time and energy-saving techniques which are very effective and efficient in implementing a profitable farm.
• On the first day of the workshop, we learned how to be a sustainable farm by doing successful micro-green, regular crop rotation and small space gardening on his farm. Next day, we learned about the importance of soil preparation and transplanting to be a productive farm. On the last day, we got the knowledge about his marketing, useful tools in seed spacing, composting, preparing micro-green and harvesting. This 3-day workshop is very precious for us as we got a lot of ideas and solutions for our farm to increase the production of the farm. I always thank everyone who supports and give this valuable chance to attend this workshop.

3. Moksa
• Moksa restaurant is a destination purposely created to nourish, educate and find balance. It is a plant-based restaurant surrounded by permaculture gardens that support elements of every dish. It brings together a plant-based restaurant, culinary academy, permaculture gardens, a dojo space for yoga, meditation, martial arts, special events, and weekly community farmers market. The food is really delicious for vegans and I recommend trying it when you are in Bali.

4. Mai Organics
• Nowadays, the lands in Bali are dramatically lost because of building infrastructures for hotels and restaurants for tourism. So farmers are less chance to grow food and make money form farming. People are working in the tourism industry more than any other sectors so they lost the connection with nature.
• Kaduk founded a community farm with the aim of promoting both organic farming and eco-tourism in his village through farm tours and cooking classes. He also wants to create a better connection between people and nature. One thing I learn from him is to smile while you’re preparing food for the family. ‘Smiling’ can reveal your beautiful spirit and compassion. Last but not least the villagers strongly believe in Balinese philosophy concerning with spirit and nature so they do nothing which can be harmful to their environment like reducing plastic use.

5. Green School
• A non-profit, private and international prekindergarten to high school in Bali. Green school protects the environment, keeps teachers and students healthy, promotes environmental literacy and trains the students to become good leaders. School fees are high to attend a regular class. But, there is one canon if you want to attend the part-time course for a week or a month, you have to bring 5kg of recycling materials instead of school fees. The students who are weak in theoretical learning have much fun in practical learning at Green school. The students are provided with life skills curriculum such as painting, planting, cooking, farming, building, recycling, etc………

6. Emas Hitan
• Emas Hitan means golden black (soil) founded by a Balinese called Katuk. He’s got some supports from other organization, government and also his community.
• He believes in 3 connections which are nature, spirit, and people. One amazing thing in his farm is no need to control pest because of good soil and compost. His relatives don’t need to buy vegetables from his farm. He doesn’t have any income from veggies. But, he gets regular income from compost. The government provides three cows for manure.

7. Organic Farm & Cafe
• A cafe’ with a small western organics farm is like a school for local farmers to learn about western organic products by Wayan and Marjan from Amsterdam in 2009. Their aim is to help increase the villagers' income in the near future by supplying western & local organics produce to hotels, villas, and restaurants. Marjan also helps local organic farmers to find restaurants market. This cafe’ offers an evening English class for children and women to get more opportunities for their future.
