A lovely initiative to support - Edit
First the food is fresh and delicious! This spot was founded by a Dutch lady who moved to this village 10 years ago and started a grassroots initiative to help the local farmers get more recognition for organic farming. The Nasi Campur was fantastic. Simple elements but bursting with flavor. The drinks were made with freshly picked moringa and herbs from the garden.
Read moreThis place reminds you, it's not about eating fancy vegan food where the farmers and workers have been exploited, it's about coming back to the source.
Ps. For the cow comment, we did not see any animal kept on the farm.

Delicious but on the expensive side - Edit
Even though their menu is vegetarian, they catered us vegan food after request. We had the Nasi Kuning and pasta with cashew sauce. In addition you get a handpicked salad from their garden which you can design yourself. Great concept and delicious food. Only downside would be the price, but we hope that it funds the community they are supporting/developing.

Low review only because of treatment of cow and price. - Edit
Sweet people, when owner came she introduced herself. Dogs seems happy. All was really good. There story is in the menu. Pretty expensive and smaller portions though. The tea I got for 35000 came in a glass with no handle instead of a pot and mugs. The biggest reason I won't support them again is there was a cow tied up uncomfortably with not enough slack to even turn around. And I asked if he's tied up like that all day, they said yes. If we weren't in a bind with the rain I wouldn't of supported them.
Read morePros: Good service. Friendly and personable., They go right out to garden to get produce.
Cons: Cow is tied to pole with no slack standing on ceme

First of all thank you for visiting us! And I completely agree with you that it looks sad to see the cow on a rope all day. But if you would have asked me I could have explained. This is not our cow. It's the neighbors. We use it's compost.
Read moreThis is the way all Balinese treat their cows in their resting area as they
are used for plowing the rice fields early in the morning. And thus have probably more daily exercise then cows in the West. I told Team to better explain in the future.
Hope this answer helps? And looking forward welcoming you another time in the future. Marjan & Team
