“Lumlum” is a phrase in the Thai Language’s northern dialect that means delicious—and there’s a reason why Chita Organic uses the phrase to describe their organic Thai sauces and condiments.
After spending years in traditional manufacturing, Chita Organic founder Jaruwan Ovararint wanted to forge her own path only using organic ingredients. After approaching multiple farmers, none were willing to stop using chemicals—so she established her own organic farm in the Li District in the south of Lamphun Province. It’s one of the only certified organic farms in Thailand—which grew from just under 20 acres in 2009 to over 158 acres today.
