After several weeks of rain in Chiang Mai, the garden at Happy Herb Farm is full of colour and new growth. Cloudy skies have kept the days cooler, while the warm tropical weather helps our herbs, fruit, and vegetables grow quickly. Everywhere we look, the farm is becoming greener.
A Kitchen Garden for Our Thai Cooking Classes
Our garden is more than a peaceful place to explore. It is part of the experience for guests who join our Thai cooking classes in Chiang Mai. Depending on the season and what is ready to harvest, visitors can see ingredients growing close to the kitchen and may have the chance to pick fresh produce before cooking.
Walking through the garden helps guests recognise the flavours that make Thai food so distinctive. Lemongrass adds a bright citrus aroma, fresh chillies bring heat, and green brinjals add texture to traditional curries. Seeing these ingredients on the plant creates a closer connection between the farm, the kitchen, and the finished dish.
Fresh Thai Herbs and Vegetables
The rainy season brings plenty of moisture to our Chiang Mai farm garden. Young papayas are developing on the trees, while lemongrass, red chillies, and green brinjals continue to grow. Each ingredient has its own season, so the garden always offers something different to discover.
For us, cooking begins before the wok is heated. It starts with learning about local ingredients, noticing their fragrance and texture, and understanding how Thai cooks use them to balance spicy, sour, salty, and sweet flavours.
