Farm Stay is an experiential space that aims to promote sustainable farming and clean food through an immersive retreat. It allows guests to escape the chaos of the city while simultaneously learning sustainable farming practices and following the path of produce from planting to cooking to eating. The concept of the life cycle comes to fruition on-site starting in the main house, where guests are planted like seeds. Cozy guest rooms cradle visitors and allow them to rest, rejuvenate and begin their journey. Just as a plant grows into a seedling, the garage promotes growth and allows guests to soak up sustainable practices. Finally, when the plant is fully grown and harvested, the restaurant allows guests to experience the harvest and enjoy the feast. The life cycle continues when guests leave and sow the seeds of knowledge with others as they return home.
