Tra Que Vegetable Village

Tra Que Vegetable Village is a place steeped in tradition, located about 3 kilometers from the center of Hoi An Ancient Town . It's a small village but well-known for its high-quality vegetables grown using traditional methods for nearly 400 years. Tra Que farmers rely on techniques passed down through generations to cultivate the land.  They avoid using any chemicals or harsh fertilizers, resulting in fresh, flavorful, and clean produce. This focus on organic methods has become increasingly popular with tourists in recent years. The village is nestled between the De Vong River and the Tra Que Lagoon, which provide fertile soil and abundant water. This privileged location allows a wide variety of over 20 different types of leafy vegetables and herbs to flourish here, including lettuce, basil, coriander, mint, and perilla.
