有機農場でのバリ料理教室

The cooking class was awesome and definitely the best cooking class I’ve ever attended! When we arrived, we were welcomed with fresh coconut water, and afterwards, we visited the organic farm. There was such a wonderful variety of fresh vegetables and spices, and the introduction was really interesting. We picked the vegetables ourselves and had so much fun! The cooking class itself was amazing. The staff created such an enthusiastic and joyful atmosphere, and we really enjoyed the experience. They explained each dish to us step by step, and by the end, we had prepared six delicious and authentic dishes. Everyone was very friendly, welcoming, and outgoing. I also really appreciate that they support local farmers and young people in the community. I would definitely recommend this cooking class to anyone visiting Bali!

Set on a peaceful farm away from the hustle and bustle of Ubud, Apung and Wahan - who are heaps of fun - guided us through the dishes. All ingredients were from the farm itself.

We had a really nice experience at the Mai Organic Farm!! The driver picked us up in the morning, and we drove to this beautiful farm with many species, fruits and vegetables. The staff (from the local village) were very very friendly and helpful. Together we made six traditional Balinese dishes, which we enjoyed afterwards. We only had a small group, which allowed us to take the time and to ask a lot of questions.

Wonderful experience and the kids loved it, 9 and 6 years old. Got to see and pick all the ingredients around the farm before cooking a delicious lunch together.

What I signed up for in Pejeng was called a "cooking class". What I experienced at Mai Organic Farm was something much rarer: a living story, told through soil, hands, laughter, and care. The day began in the garden. We walked the land, gathered our own fruits and vegetables, touched what we were about to cook, and understood—without a lecture—what real connection to food means. Every ingredient had a story, a season and meaning. Tataa and Komang, the young men leading the experience, are something extraordinary and special !! There is wisdom in them that goes beyond their age. With humor, warmth, and genuine pride, they guided us through the history and traditions of each dish, encouraging us to cook ourselves, cheering and celebrating every small contribution we made, and turned learning into joy. I never felt like a tourist. I felt included. I felt like coocing with family. One of the most touching moments for me was meeting Komang's mothers, who was there helping quietly, naturally—like this is how things have always been done. That moment said more about Balinese culture than any guidebook ever could. What impressed me deeply is the young community behind this place and their leadership—the conscious decision to protect tradition, support local farmers, and resist the pressure of fast, empty tourism. This is not nostalgia. This is active preservation. Purposeful work. Courage, actually... Mai Organic Farm is not a tourist attraction in the usual sense,Mai Organic Farm is a mission with deeper purpose. It exists because the people behind it ,made a brave, deliberate choice: to remain connected to their land, their farmers, and their responsibility to the future.. It is a place built for continuity. The farm is worked the way it has been for generations—patiently, organically, in dialogue with the nature, rather than in control of it. By inviting others in, they are not turning tradition into spectacle; they are protecting it by practicing it. Local farmers are supported, ancestral knowledge is passed hand to hand, and cultural memory is kept alive through daily work. You feel that every step here is guided by respect—for those who came before, for those who live here now, and for those who will inherit this soil next. In a world rushing forward, this community stands firm. Quiet. United. And powerful because of it. This was one of the happiest and most meaningful days of my time in Bali. I left with a full heart, a sense of belonging, and the feeling that I had been trusted into something sacred. I came as a visitor and left feeling part of something larger—possibly with new friends for life. I will come back. And I will support this place and these people in every way I can. This is not “good.” This is excellent—with soul . Angelina

A great experience and a fantastic team. We had a lot of fun, learned a lot and it was delicious or how we said; oberlecker!

Fun and creative cooking class! We loved walking through the grounds and picking our ingredients to make several different Indonesian meals. Would definitely recommend this class!

Incredible experience! We were picked up from central Ubud for the cooking class with a welcome drink on arrival. Going to pick the ingredients to use in the class on the farm was a bonus to this experience. The chef’s made it a really great time, they clearly enjoy what they do and that shows to guests! They made an effort to remember everyone’s names and ensured we were all included in the experience. As for the actual food it was also fantastic. I was catered for as a vegetarian and we even got desert afterwards. Highly recommend.

Very nice experience. Lovely people and delicious food. First you will pick your own fruit/vegetables from the garden and then prepare them yourself.

We had a great time at the cooking class. We particularly enjoyed picking all the herbs, fruit and vegetables in the surrounding fields that we then turned into food. Great hosts and a fun morning. Highly recommended.
