The famous provincial product of surin is jasmine rice because this province exports the famous jasmine rice of Thailand. And today, I will introduce an organic farm that has a lot of organic products to choose from which is named Satom Organic farm.

Satom Organic Farm is a place that produces and sells organic products that have received production standards certification. It’s located at Ban Mueang Ling, Amphoe Chom Phra in surin. In the past, the Satom community had an organic agricultural chemical space pesticides to speed up agricultural production were introduced. It was recently found that the mentioned chemicals created a lot of impact to the environment and affected both farmers and consumers. This place therefore initiated the use of traditional organic production methods again.

Until now, it has become a community enterprise and gathered farmers' groups of organic rice producers. If anyone comes to surin and is interested, you can definitely stop by and you’ll get many agricultural products that meet safety standards for health. Moreover, this place provides accommodation for tourists with activities like a rice cultivating demonstration by yourself. It can be said that it’s a place for people who like a simple and easy lifestyle in the midst of nature.
