Adjacent to the marketplace are vibrant vegetable farms. Take a tour around the fields, where you’ll see a variety of crops such as bitter melon, corn, cauliflower, cabbage, tomatoes, green peas, snake peas, and seasonal fruits like oranges, pomelos, and papayas.

You’ll learn about the cultivation of these vegetables and might even get the chance to help a farmer in the fields. After exploring the farms, you'll head to the host's house to cook delicious Vietnamese dishes using simple, traditional recipes.
