ABOUT THE CENTER
Everything we learn, we share
ทุกสิ่งที่เราเรียนรู้ เราแบ่งปัน
The Skugga Mae On Agricultural Learning Center is the teaching and research side of Skugga Estate. Our rule is simple: everything we learn, we share. That includes what failed. Local farmers are welcome to use our methods, even if they go on to compete with us.
WHY HERE
A route from the crop to the customer
Skugga sits in Ban Sahakorn, in the San Kamphaeng Cooperative Village project area of Mae On District, Chiang Mai. This is a farming community of dairy herds, orchards and smallholdings, 40 minutes from the city.
Mae On has the land, the water and the people. What many farms here lack is a route from the crop to the customer. The Center exists to help build that route.
WHAT MAKES US DIFFERENT
Training that doesn't stop at the farm gate
Most agricultural training stops at the farm gate. Ours goes further, because we run every step as a working business.
STEP I
GROW
In a tropical climate, with problems and fixes recorded season by season.
STEP II
PROCESS
Fermenting, drying, roasting, curing, culturing and churning.
STEP III
MAKE
Finished products in our own lab and kitchens.
STEP IV
PACKAGE & PRICE
Costing, labeling and the licenses you need.
STEP V
SELL
Through our café, shop, restaurant, workshops and partners.
OUR SITES
THREE WORKING SITES
Two sites in Ban Sahakorn and a coffee farm in Mae On. Each one is a working part of the business, and a place to learn.
