Since 2015, the founder of Univers Farm has traveled across Lâm Đồng, Phan Thiết, Đồng Nai, Bình Phước, and other regions to find suitable land for organic farming. Ms. Đào Thị Huyền Sâm, Director of Univers Farm Organics, collected nearly 20 soil and water samples from various provinces for analysis. However, due to pesticide contamination, obtaining USDA organic farming certification was not possible.

When the final soil sample was found to be pesticide-free—previously used for growing eucalyptus by local communities—Univers Farm was established to realize the dream of chemical-free agriculture for Vietnamese consumers.

Philosophy and Mission of Univers Farm Organics

With a dream of providing organic agricultural products to Vietnamese people nationwide, Univers Farm is open to interns, volunteers, and agricultural entrepreneurs. They are welcome to learn and hone their skills in organic farming, with the hope that they will help make the dream of organic agriculture for Vietnam a reality.
