Founder Story
From Healing to Responsible Cultivation
Happy Herb grew from our founder’s recovery journey after treatment for Stage 3 breast cancer and her decision to understand more about the plants, food and growing practices in her daily life.
That personal garden became a working farm. Today, Happy Herb combines licensed cannabis cultivation, transparent farm standards and approachable education for adult visitors from around the world.

From healing to harvest, step by step
Our Journey
A Return to Plants
Wanting to understand exactly how her food and herbs were grown, our founder began cultivating plants at home and rediscovered the connection between nature, daily care and wellbeing.
A Garden Becomes a Farm
What began as a personal plot grew into a working farm for herbs, food crops and licensed cannabis cultivation, guided by care for the soil, clear records and responsible growing practices.
The Farm Opens to Visitors
Happy Herb now welcomes adult visitors to explore the plant life cycle, responsible cultivation, Thai cannabis law, traditional herbal knowledge and the standards behind the soil.
The values behind what we grow, teach and share
What We Believe
Plants and Wellbeing
Our story began with a return to plants, healthy routines and a deeper respect for how daily choices can support wellbeing.
Responsible Cultivation
Cannabis and other crops deserve careful handling, clear processes and respect for the land on which they are grown.
Thai Herbal Wisdom
We share traditional plant knowledge with context, care and respect, without replacing professional medical advice.
Transparency Builds Trust
Farm records, traceability and honest conversations help visitors understand what we grow and how we work.
Education Creates Confidence
Clear, approachable guidance helps adult visitors understand the plant, Thai law and responsible choices.
Community Matters
We value local knowledge, shared learning and tourism that brings meaningful benefits to the people around us.
Standards Behind the Soil
Growing With Care, Guided by Standards
Our founder believes good intentions should be supported by clear practices, farm records and outside review. These standards help Happy Herb grow with greater care, consistency and accountability.
Current · Valid to December 2027
What Is GAP?
Good Agricultural Practices is Thailand’s standards framework for responsible crop production. Our separate certificates cover green oak food crops and cannabis herbs, with each standard focused on growing, harvesting, records and traceability.
- Documented farm and crop records
- Responsible soil and water management
- Careful handling of fertilizers and other inputs
- Clean harvesting and traceable produce
What it means here: our growing process is documented, reviewed and continuously improved rather than relying on good intentions alone.
Certification Record · 2023–2024
What Is SDGsPGS?
SDGsPGS is a locally focused Participatory Guarantee System for organic agriculture. Farmers and community stakeholders learn together, review growing practices and build trust through participation and transparency.
- Community participation and peer review
- Shared organic-growing knowledge
- Local accountability and transparency
- Continuous learning between growers
Our status: Happy Herb was certified for the 2023–2024 period. We have not renewed it yet, so we present it as part of our standards journey rather than as a current certification.
