Unlike many tourism models where animals are raised for display, Dundj Valley operates as a true self-sufficient farm.

Here, the food chain begins with the land:

• Rice fields provide grain not only for people, but also for ducks, chickens, and pigs

• Banana trees offer natural feed for livestock

• Wild grasses and herbs feed buffalo, goats, and geese

• Vegetable gardens supply both the family and visiting guests

Nothing is isolated.
Everything is connected.

Animals are not fed industrial feed.
They forage naturally, supplemented only by what the land already produces.

At Dundj Valley, the food chain can be understood simply:

Soil → Plants → Animals → People → Back to the land

• Ducks and wild mallards feed on rice grains, insects, and natural vegetation

• Chickens roam freely, eating what they find in the fields

• Buffalo and goats maintain the landscape by grazing

• Pigs consume agricultural byproducts, reducing waste

Even the vegetables—like sweet potato leaves (rau khoai lang)—are grown organically and served directly in meals.

This creates a closed-loop system, where nothing is wasted and everything has a role.

Most “farm-to-table” experiences today focus on presentation.
At Dundj Valley, it’s about process and origin.

Because the entire food chain is controlled naturally:

• Meat is free-range and chemical-free

• Vegetables are fresh, seasonal, and pesticide-free

• Flavors reflect the real countryside of Vietnam

This is why dishes like roasted mallard duck stand out.
Not because of complex cooking techniques—but because of how the animal lived.

Visitors often say the same thing:
“It tastes different. Cleaner. More real.”

Behind this system is Lady Thai and her family—farmers with decades of experience.

• Recognized multiple times by the Ninh Binh Farmers’ Association

• Known locally for excellence in sustainable agriculture and livestock raising

• Over 40 years of hands-on farming knowledge in this valley

Their expertise is not theoretical.
It comes from living inside the food chain, season after season.

For many visitors, especially families and slow travelers, Dundj Valley becomes more than a meal.

It becomes a place to understand:

• Where food actually comes from

• How ecosystems sustain themselves

• What “organic” truly means beyond labels

Children see animals not in cages, but in motion.
Adults reconnect with a way of life that feels increasingly rare.

So when people search for:

• Duck farm Tam Coc

• Duck farm Ninh Binh

What they often find are places focused on one element.

But Dundj Valley offers something broader:

👉 A complete food chain
👉 A self-sufficient farm
👉 A true farm-to-table experience
