“Dan Kwian lime is a variety named after its location, Dan Kwian subdistrict. Its distinctive feature is its resistance to the drought conditions of the northeastern region. Its produce is juicy and tasty, even during the off-harvest season.”

Dan Kwian Lime Garden is situated on approximately 30 rai of land in Moo 3, Dan Kwian Sub-district, Chok Chai District, Nakhon Ratchasima Province. It serves as the primary cultivation and propagation center for the authentic Dan Kwian lime variety, a native strain named specifically after its place of discovery in this community.

This lime variety is characterized by its exceptional drought tolerance within the challenging climate of the Northeastern region (Isaan). This resilience allows the trees to bear fruit year-round, ensuring a consistent supply even during the off-season when other lime varieties are scarce. Furthermore, the trees are highly prolific, with some capable of yielding up to 5,000 fruits per harvest cycle.

Physically, the Dan Kwian lime fruit is notably large and heavy and contains an abundant amount of juice regardless of its size. Its flavor profile is milder and well-rounded—not overly acidic—and the rind possesses a less pungent aroma than common varieties. These qualities make it highly desirable for use in culinary applications, beverages, and propagation by farmers seeking a reliable, high-yield crop.

The individual credited with initiating the widespread cultivation and commercial distribution of this specific lime strain is Mr. Narong Rattanachan. His efforts have positioned the orchard as a central hub for those interested in agriculture, particularly those seeking drought-resistant plants for investment or personal consumption. Visitors intending to purchase large quantities of saplings or produce are advised to contact the orchard directly via telephone to arrange their visit and receive detailed information.

The orchard operates not merely as a marketplace but also as an educational center for organic farming and for studying the economic value and development of this unique native lime variety.
