Fantastic experience, such a peaceful and authentic place and people . Very informative, warm and encouraging. The preparation and cooking directions were easy to understand and the food was yummy . ( vegetarian for me ) I went alone , but felt completely at ease . The guys were so friendly . Very grateful for the whole experience.

I went to Mais Organic Farm with a group of friends for the evening session and we had the best time. The guys who hosted us were so much fun and created a great atmosphere, getting everyone involved. We had a great laugh!

We learnt a lot from the tour about Balinese cooking and all the techniques that are used. We first picked out ingredients from the farm which we loved. We then all cooked as a group and everyone got involved. Afterwards we sat and enjoyed the delicious food, it was so good!! Best food I’ve eaten so far and tasted really fresh.

Would 100% recommend. Also the family is community owned and supports the local village. They have a shoo on sight where you can buy artisan products made in the village. Bring some extra cash as they things in there are beautiful.

I honestly can’t recommend this experience enough!! Me and my four friends had the best evening of our trip at Mai’s Organic Farm. The hosts were full of energy and showed us such fantastic hospitality - they really put a smile on our faces. The food was excellent and the farm itself was beautiful and so well maintained. We couldn’t believe how affordable it was too. Thank you to Apung and his brilliant team for having us!

Our experience was so much fun!!! We learned, laughed and ate more than we ever expected. Our guide and chefs were knowledgeable, accommodating and kept us smiling and laughing the whole time. The food was delicious, we left so full and happy. The gardens/farm were also beautiful, well loved and taken care of. I will absolutely be recommending this to anyone I know visiting Bali and will go again when I come back myself!

Highlight of my trip! Our amazing guides were super friendly and warm, we thoroughly enjoyed the farm tour, cooking a selection of delicious dishes, meeting other travellers and having a heart meal together. Such a fun and authentic experience, I cannot wait to try and cook these dishes at home with the recipe book they provided!

The cooking class at Mai Organic Farm was a highlight of our trip! The team at the farm were great, so friendly and made the day really fun. Unlike other cooking classes we’ve done in the past this one was interactive and we were able to get really involved. We went around the farm picking all of the ingredients fresh and learnt a lot about different ingredients used in Balinese cooking. We made the most delicious food using these ingredients and Balinese ways of cooking. We had an amazing day at Mai Farm and would highly recommend to anyone looking for an authentic and fun experience.

We had the best time at the Balinese Cooking Class at Mai Organic Farm!

From the moment we arrived at the farm, we were warmly welcomed with a refreshing fresh coconut. The farm tour was a great start to the experience. Walking through the community farm, we learned a lot about the farming practices and had the pleasure of picking fresh ingredients that we would later use in our cooking class, truly embracing the farm-to-table concept.

With the tour complete, we were treated to a fresh juice made with locally sourced vegetables and fruits that was a refreshing pause before we dove into the cooking session.

The cooking class itself was a delight! We prepared authentic Balinese dishes, including the incredible tuna sate and to-die-for corn fritters. The expert instructors guided us through the process, and what impressed me most was the flexibility they offered. Everyone in the group's dietary restrictions and preferences were happily accommodated, and they even made a spicy and non-spicy version of most dishes - which made me super happy as a person who craves that heat. (Other classes will cater to those with the least tolerance, and give you some extra chili to add afterwards, which just isn't the same.) I left eager to find the specialty ingredients back home and try to recreate some of the delicious things we made.

What really made this class stand out is the wonderful folks facilitating the class. Each one was so friendly and outgoing, it also encouraged the participants to get to know each other, and it really wasn't long before it felt like we were hanging out with a group of friends.

I can't recommend this Balinese Cooking Class enough. It's a unique opportunity to connect with nature, learn about sustainable practices, and immerse yourself in the rich culinary traditions of Bali. If you're planning a trip to Ubud, be sure to include this cooking class on your itinerary – you won't regret it!

Wayan, Apung, Komang and the rest of the team made this experience totally unforgettable, and it is hands down our favourite thing we have done in Bali. The farm is incredible, the care they have for the land really shows and this follows through with the food and teachings. We made the most amazing lunch and had a fantastic time getting to know Balinese techniques and ingredients, and thoroughly enjoyed eating it afterwards! If you only do one thing during your time in Bali, this should be it! Cannot thank everyone involved enough!

This was one of those experiences that you get for your lifetime. Really kind people, that will explain to you all about how the farm and fruits/vegetables are grown and maintained, then the farm itself on which you will try fruits and smell spices maybe even for the first time in your life, directly from garden, and then you will prepare and cook in a traditional way, and in the end eat all those delicious foods. Also, to mention really tasty herbal drinks.
Anyway, great experience and please continue doing it great.
