Review & FAQ:

The Xieng Khouang province has been famous for the creation of fine Laotian silk for centuries. Mulberries Organic Silk Farm is a nonprofit fair trade company that works hard to preserve the disappearing art of traditional Laotian silk weaving, while creating jobs and income for local families in the area. Visitors to the farm can take a tour to learn all about the organic mulberry trees, the leaves of which are then used as food for silkworms. Spinning, reeling, dyeing, and weaving are all done on the farm property and by villagers in their own homes, and the final results are some truly beautiful silks, dyed with natural ingredients like indigo and jackfruit, which are sold in the farm’s gift shop.
