Tra Que Vegetable Village

Tra Que Vegetable Village is famous for its long-standing tradition of organic farming. The vegetables here are grown naturally without chemicals, using seaweed fertilizer collected from the Co Co River.

Tra Que Vegetable Village is located about 3 kilometers north of Hoi An Ancient Town and is renowned for its traditional organic farming. With a history of hundreds of years, the village specializes in growing fragrant herbs like basil, perilla, lettuce, and coriander using all-natural methods. Locals fertilize their crops with seaweed from the Co Co River, making the vegetables exceptionally fresh and safe. Thanks to fertile soil and traditional care techniques, Tra Que vegetables have a unique flavor and are supplied to many restaurants in Hoi An. The peaceful village landscape, with rows of green gardens, offers a refreshing and relaxing atmosphere for visitors.

At Tra Que, visitors can do more than just sightsee—they can take part in farming activities with the locals. You’ll be guided to loosen the soil, plant seeds, and water the crops using traditional bamboo carrying poles. This hands-on experience is especially popular with international travelers and children, offering deeper insight into Vietnamese rural life. Many tours also combine farming with cooking classes using ingredients straight from the garden. These activities are fun, educational, and allow travelers to connect with the land and people.

Tra Que Village preserves not only farming traditions but also the spirit of community and harmony between people and nature. Small houses, shady village paths, and the kind smiles of the locals paint a picture of tranquil countryside life. The clean air, open space, and simple lifestyle make many visitors want to return. Tra Que is more than just a vegetable garden—it is the soul of Hoi An, tied to sustainable values and eco-friendly tourism. A visit here offers a chance to slow down and truly reconnect with nature.
