Organic Herbs from the Earth and the Heart

 

With a history of over 300 years, Tra Que village is located beside a brackish water lagoon, which provides natural seaweed used as fertilizer instead of chemicals. This unique practice produces vibrant green herbs with a distinct aroma found nowhere else.

Tra Que herbs have long been the key ingredients in Hoi An’s signature dishes like: Cao lầu, mì Quảng, and bánh xèo. Today, the village stands not only as the city’s "herb garden" but also as a symbol of sustainable, eco-friendly living.

A Day as a Hoi An Farmer

Tra Que is not just a tourist destination—it’s a genuine hands-on experience:

✅ Immerse yourself in rural life

   

Put on a brown farmer’s shirt and a traditional conical hat, then learn how to till the soil, plant seeds, and water crops using a bamboo bucket. These age-old farming techniques are more than just physical work—they are lessons in perseverance and love for the land.

✅ Garden-to-table cooking class

  

After harvesting your own herbs, join a rustic outdoor cooking session where you’ll prepare dishes like spring rolls, bánh xèo, herb salad with shrimp and pork, or mì Quảng. Fresh ingredients, a countryside kitchen, and a heartfelt instructor promise an unforgettable, authentic culinary memory.

✅ Explore by bike

  

Ride along narrow village paths surrounded by lush green fields. This peaceful landscape is perfect for sunset watching, photography, and breathing in fresh country air—a rare treasure in today’s busy cities.

In just three hours, you’ll discover a whole new side of Hoi An. Book the “A Day as a Tra Que Farmer” tour with Amigos Travel today!
