About this tour
Spend five hours at a working organic farm outside Ubud, harvesting vegetables and herbs alongside locals, then cook and eat a traditional Balinese meal in a rustic outdoor kitchen. Kadek guides you through the basics of preparing authentic dishes, and you'll take home a cookbook with the recipes. It's a small-group affair with genuine conversation about local food culture and farming practices.
Highlights
- Pick lemongrass, beans and other vegetables straight from the farm
- Prepare and cook a full Balinese meal with Kadek
- Eat what you've cooked plus pre-prepared specialities
- Receive printed recipes to recreate dishes at home
- Local cider or beer included with lunch
- Hotel pickup from central Ubud locations
What to expect
Your morning or afternoon starts with a stroll through muddy fields and tall vegetation—you'll actually pick the ingredients you'll cook with. After a cold drink, you'll tie on an apron and work alongside Kadek in the open-air kitchen, learning techniques hands-on. Expect to spend around 30–45 minutes farming, then 2–3 hours cooking and eating together. The pace is leisurely and conversational. You'll eat the dishes you've made plus a couple Kadek has prepared in advance, with local alcohol on offer.
Good to know

Vegetarian and dietary requirements are accommodated with advance notice. Hotel pickups are from Hanoman Street, Monkey Forest Street and Jl. Raya Ubud; those outside these areas meet at Maybank Gianyar.
