Born from a dream to create a healthy, equitable, and resilient food system in Thailand, every dish and cup at Homeland Cafe connects you straight to small-scale farmers, fisherfolk, and family producers.

With beans roasted by local farmers and ingredients that change with the seasons, this café wraps you in the flavors of the land and the people behind them.

Homeland also works alongside groups like the Thailand Organic Consumer Association (TOCA) to champion organic farming, build farmer skills and shape a fairer future for Thai communities.

From regular field visits to sourcing local and organic at every step, Homeland proves that eating well can also mean doing good. Follow them on Instagram for mini-interviews and reports straight from Thai farmers.

This week’s gem was recommended by none other than our What’s Hot & What’s Not real traveller of the week, Camila 👇🏻

In this week’s What’s Hot & What’s Not, meet Camila, born in Brazil with Croatian roots.

Travel has been a passion of Camila since she was little, her dad is a retired pilot, so she grew up exploring new places from a young age. Her passion is all about discovering and sharing authentic restaurants and coffee shops in every place she travel!

🔥 What’s Hot

visit small specialty coffee shops, buy organic local groceries at the farmers’ market, spend some quiet time in a local library, try a new fruit or vegetable unique to the city you’re in, respect the local culture, learn about differences before you arrive, keep your eyes, heart, and ears open, free of judgment, stay curious and open for different perspectives.

❄️ What’s Not

not supporting local businesses, be disrespectful with the culture by saying things are better or worse than yours, don’t respect the environment in public spaces.
