Kai Farms is expanding its experiential learning programs this July with two collaborations built around regenerative living, food, and creativity. The workshops invite participants to reconnect with the land through seasonal cooking, natural dyeing, and hands-on experiences rooted in sustainability and community.
Nestled in the hills of Silang, Cavite, Kai Farms is a center for culture and climate where regenerative agriculture, wellness, education, and creativity converge. Guided by five impact areas — climate solutions, creativity and culture, reconnecting with nature, health and nutrition, and regenerative food systems — the farm continues to build experiences that let people learn directly from nature.
The season opens with the TINTA Weekend Experience, held in partnership with Masagana Flower Farm on July 18-19, 2026, at Kai Farms Earth Kitchen. Led by Canada-based Filipina artist Lourdes Still, founder of the award-winning Masagana Flower Farm & Studio in Manitoba, the two-day program explores natural dyeing through flowers and indigo.
Participants will create botanical-dyed cotton bandanas in the Flower Dyeing Workshop and learn traditional resist techniques in the Indigo Dyeing Workshop, which also marks the opening of the "12 Dips of Blue" exhibition. The weekend includes Kai Farms' Sponsor a Young Creative initiative, which helps make the experience accessible to aspiring artists.
On July 26, Kai Farms partners with Chef Asha Peri to launch "Seed to Table: Cooking as Regeneration," the first of a three-part seasonal cooking series. The next two sessions follow on Nov. 8, 2026, and April 24, 2027, tracking the Cool-Dry and Hot-Dry seasons.
Participants will harvest ingredients from the farm, prepare seasonal dishes, share meals, and pick up practical insight into regenerative cooking, nutrition, and mindful living. Drawing from Southeast Asian cuisine, functional nutrition, Ayurveda, Traditional Chinese Medicine, and ecological food systems, Chef Asha Peri frames food as a bridge between healthy soil, resilient communities, and personal well-being. The series also carries Kai Farms' Food as Medicine Advocate sponsorship, which expands access to regenerative food education.
One program centers on natural dyeing, the other on seasonal cooking, but both rest on the same idea: meaningful change starts with hands-on contact with nature. Together, they show how creativity, food, and environmental stewardship can build healthier lifestyles and stronger communities.
As Kai Farms brings together artists, farmers, chefs, educators, and lifelong learners, it's growing into a destination where regenerative agriculture, culture, and wellness nourish both people and the planet.
Registration is open for both experiences.
