About
HOMELAND was born out of our dream to create a healthy, equitable and resilient food system in Thailand.
HOMELAND was born out of our dream to create a healthy, equitable and resilient food system in Thailand.
Growing up, one of the first Thai sayings we learned was “farmers are the backbone of our country,” instilling in us so much pride and respect for the people who make and grow our food.
Yet, many Thai farmers, producers, and fishers remain one of the most vulnerable and marginalized groups in our country.
HOMELAND is more than a grocery store—it’s a lifestyle based on responsible production and consumption. When you buy from us, you directly contribute to a resilient and equitable food system in Thailand as well as sustainable rural development that improves the livelihood of our partners, their families and their communities.
Welcome to HOMELAND. We're so glad to have you here.
Vision
To protect the present and future well-being of people and the planet
Mission
To foster a sustainable, equitable and self-sufficient food system in Thailand
How We Source
In addition to working directly with small-scale and family farmers, producers, fisherfolk, and community partners, we also work with organizations, such as the Thailand Organic Consumer Association (TOCA), to help drive the organic society in Thailand while supporting capacity and skill development for Thai farmers and producers. In the future, we plan to bring capacity and skill development to vulnerable groups through these partnerships.
HOMELAND team also regularly conducts field visits to visit our partners as well as other local actors. You can see our trips on our Instagram (@homeland.grocer)!
