Our "Rainbow Mountain Permaculture Farm" is a living classroom and working landscape dedicated to sustainable, regenerative agriculture.

Nestled in Rice Fields near Chiang Yuen (Mahasarakham), we work alongside nature to heal the soil, harvest water passively, and grow nutrient-dense food through thoughtful ecological designs.

Whether you are a curious neighbor, an aspiring permaculturist, or someone looking to reconnect with the land, we invite you to explore our ecosystem and see how conscious design can transform our world.

Welcome to

Rainbow Mountain Permaculture Farm

In 2020, we set out to heal 21 rai (33600 sqm) of barren rice fields depleted by generations of monoculture farming.

Our vision was to stop living from nature and learn to live with it.

Our Core Principles:

Soil Regeneration: Restoring life to depleted earth through natural composting and organic methods.
Harmonious and sustainable living: Designing natural cycles that support, rather than extract from.
Biodiversity: Rebuilding healthy habitats where plant and animal life can flourish and create a holistic well balanced microsystem.

Living in Harmony

"Built by hand from the earth beneath our feet"

Our mud brick home reflects our commitment to permaculture:

living with nature, not off of it.

We design systems that cooperate with natural cycles,

nurturing the land so it can sustain all life—including ours.

"Saving the bees"

Shouldn't just mean keeping livestock and generate an income with highly demanded honey.

Our integrated meliponary is powered by design

Half of our entire plant collection is specifically chosen to provide native bees with abundant nectar, pollen, and hive-building resins, because Permaculture is sharing with nature.

"For millions of years, pollinators hold the key to human survival without them, we instantly collapse."

"Beekeeping should bring joy, connection, and life to your garden"

—all without painful stings—

With stingless bees, everyone in the family can participate in protecting our native pollinators, and we can turn you and your family with our tailormade courses into professional meliponists.

Furthermore we can supply you with our plug and play Melioponist Set which includes 2 strong and established Colonies of Geniotrigona thoracica in our especially designed Premium Rainbow Mountain Bee Hives, our two Hive Bee Stand easy to install. Optional we additionally offer a Honey Harvest Pump and a Pesticide Protection Set for Orchards.

Beyond the Hive: Giving natural Life a permanent Home

In permaculture, beekeeping goes far beyond putting a box in a garden for extra Fruit and Honey.

It is about restoring balance.

By providing abundant nesting spots, clean water, and rich forage, you welcome native bees into a living ecosystem right outside your door.

Creating a haven for these native pollinators does more than nourish your plants.

It feeds the souls of your loved ones, turning everyday outdoor moments into shared wonder, learning, and quiet joy.

It means protecting the wild, native species that have kept our planet blooming for millions of years.

Planting Bee Forage Plants means not only beautiful and stunning flowers:

You need to provide Nectar, Pollen and Resin

Snakes are a rare but possible occurence on "Rainbow Mountain Permaculture Farm"

Most are no threat to humans like here our Copperhead Racer (Coelognathus radiatus) and Yellow Spotted Keelback (Fowlea flavipunctata) which are the most common ones.

Living Alongside Wildlife

Our Snake Policy

At "Rainbow Mountain Permaculture Farm", every creature plays a vital role in keeping our ecosystem balanced.

Snakes are our most effective, natural first line defense against crop-damaging rodents, eliminating the need for harmful pest control chemicals.

We operate under a simple rule:

"Respectful Ignorance"

Zero Attacks:

Snakes do not attack humans; defensive strikes only happen when they are cornered, stepped on, or threatened.

Keep Distance:

If you encounter a snake on our farm, step back and give it space to move along naturally.

Strict Protection:

Harming or killing wildlife goes against everything permaculture stands for.

We enforce a strict zero-tolerance policy

Anyone who intentionally harms or kills a snake has no place on our farm!

By respecting their space, we keep both our farm team and our natural allies safe.

Street dogs are not a nuisance;

They are a human responsibility!

The Puppy — Learning Love and Purpose

On our farm, we integrate up to 12 rescued dogs directly into our permaculture life.

When a puppy arrives, their first lesson isn't work—it's safety.

Seeing this joyful pup with name "Seven" throw her paws up with a wide, open smile.

This shows the exact moment fear turns into absolute trust.

Our commitment doesn't end when a dog grows old or tired;

It lasts until their final moment.

Resting his heavy head on a lap on the farm's earth, this faithful companion spends his last breath in complete peace.

He leaves this world smiling and knowing he was cherished, leaving his spirit forever rooted in the land he called home.

Before human cultivation:

Nature’s engineers were the great wandering herds building rich soils and balancing native ecosystems through continuous, adaptive migration.

Human activity and habitat destruction are driving massive rainforest loss, wiping out biodiversity and accelerating desertification. This degradation directly threatens global food and water supplies.

To secure our future, we must implement sustainable, productive land management that rebuilds biodiversity while restoring natural ecosystems—balance is essential.

The Role of our Animal Crew:

Before showing with this infomative web page our 7-layer food forest, all animal stewards laid the foundation as above described.

Soil Activation: Scratching and turning leaf litter to jumpstart decomposition and activate new growth.
Natural Fertility: Depositing rich organic nutrients directly into the earth.
Biomimicry: Recreating the self-regulating cycles of historical wandering herds.
Living Pesticide: Chicken are naturally forest animals, hence a perfect fit in Permaculture and what is more hillarious seeing a flock of chickens hunting after a bug.

How we are living Permaculture.

Nature takes one of two paths after aggressive farming:

"desertification or reforestation"

We use Permaculture to guarantee the forest.

The Rainbow Mountain Permaculture Farm

Our 7-layer food forest mimics natural ecosystems to create a self-sustaining abundance

Our Principles:

Boost Biodiversity: Diverse polycultures that rebuild soil life and support native pollinators.
100% Chemical-Free: Powered by organic cycling, compost, and natural pest balance—zero synthetic inputs.
Share with Nature: Coexisting peacefully with local wildlife by sharing our yield and habitat.
Profitable & Sustainable: Demonstrating that regenerative farming heals the land while building a viable livelihood.

Our Farm Classrooms

Learn regenerative agriculture through hands-on workshops on our farm:

Soil Regeneration
Creating a Forest and not a Desert
Living alongside Wildlife
Permaculture financial survival
Hands on Meliponiculture (Stingless Bee keeping)

Join us for a workshop and learn to design with nature or visit us for a walkaround where we happily give you an induction!

Overcoming the Fear of Transition!

Stepping away from conventional farming brings real financial fear.

True ecology must secure the farmer’s wallet first.

Learn from our mistakes!

At Rainbow Mountain Permaculture Farm, we honestly have spilled blood sweat and tears (and Cash!) until we realized that we actually tried to change the world in one day.

Nobody can be a Tiger if he not has learned how to find the Prey first!

These "Lessons Learned" help you transition safely and finding individual solutions for securing a resilient future for our Children and a better Income for you, your Family and the Generations to come!

The big lie!

Many say Permaculture prints Money, while watching the Grass grow!

NOT TRUE! Success takes hard work and dedication like elsewhere!

Our support goes far beyond our workshops.

We know you will visit us with Visions and we will help to make these a reality but

we will also be honest to say that your Visions may create a total fail!

you will never walk the path to a thriving farm alone.

Our Grandfather has tought us one thing:

"The money is laying on the street, but it is YOU, who needs to know how to pick it up!"

The hard Truth we teach you in our couses.

Real-World Permaculture: Beyond the Fairytale

Permaculture isn't just about picking fresh Papaya in a pristine Food Forest.

It's about dealing with 40°C heat, degraded clay, venomous wildlife, and hard work.

Many courses sell you a sun-drenched utopian dream.

A clean neat classroom as shown here in the background picture makes you not a successful Permaculture Farmer. You cannot "learn" your stripes, you have to "earn" them.

We invite you to experience the reality: building and working resilient systems from scratch on land that was once completely depleted by monoculture.

If you are looking for a sanitized eco-resort, this isn't the course for you.

But if you want to learn honest land stewardship, how to build heavy hardwood beehives, regenerate dead soil, manage regional wildlife with respect, and design systems that survive severe dry seasons, we welcome you to join us on the farm.

What you will actually learn:

Soil Regeneration in Extreme Conditions:

Rebuilding compacted, low-organic clay into living soil without relying on chemical inputs.

Creating a forest and not a desert:

All about jumpstart your food forest by establishing hardy pioneer plants and boosting soil biology, transforming degraded ground into rich, fertile earth ready for fruit trees and crops.

Hands-On Meliponiculture:

Practical stingless beekeeping, colony propagation, and pest management using custom-built modular timber hives.

Living Alongside Wildlife:

Implementing non-violent management strategies for Snakes and other dangerous Wildlife, Pests, and local stray animals.

Permaculture financial survival

Applying the right steps at the right times, evaluation and ennobling and trojan marketing strategies
