Jeju tangerines are the point here, not just a flavoring for a souvenir jar. At Murungfarm, you make jam from seasonal fruit grown by farmers in Mureung 2-ri, with plenty of pulp and less sugar than you might expect from a typical preserve. The class gives you a closer look at one of Jeju’s best-known crops, then lets you bring your own batch home.
I like two things in particular: the chance to taste different tangerine varieties before choosing how to make the jam, and the simple, hands-on format that leaves room to enjoy the farm setting. Instructor Jang has been praised for clear explanations, and an instructional video with Chinese subtitles has also been used.
One thing to plan for: Murungfarm is in a rural part of Seogwipo, so you’ll need to get to the address yourself. The listed session runs from 2:00 to 3:00 PM, and late arrivals or no-shows are not refunded.

What makes this hour worthwhile
- The fruit comes from Mureung 2-ri farmers: Murungfarm was founded by 55 local farmers, so the activity connects your jam to the people growing the tangerines.
- You taste several kinds of Jeju tangerines: Seasonal varieties add different notes to the finished jam.
- The recipe emphasizes fruit: The aim is to use less sugar and more pulp, letting the tangerine flavor lead.
- You make the jam yourself: A guide walks you through the process, and the class is designed to be simple to follow.
- You can take home your finished jam: It makes a practical souvenir, and you can later use it as a spread or mix it into tangerine tea or a latte.
- The farm has a café: You can take a breather there before or after the class, though café purchases are not listed as included.

A farm class with a local point of view
Murungfarm is a village company formed by 55 farmers from Mureung 2-ri, a rural community in Seogwipo. That background gives the workshop a useful local focus: rather than treating tangerines as a generic Jeju souvenir, it introduces the fruit as a crop grown by people in the village.
The class centers on seasonal tangerines cultivated nearby. Different varieties can bring different levels of sweetness, acidity, and fragrance to the jam. You get to sample the fruit and learn about those differences as you prepare your batch. That short tasting matters: it gives you a reason to pay attention to the ingredients instead of simply following a recipe.
The farm’s approach is to use less sugar and keep plenty of pulp. That should appeal if you prefer fruit-forward preserves, though you should not expect a sugar-free product. The specific recipe and amount of sugar are not provided, so ask the instructor if you have dietary concerns.
The jam is made by participants, with no artificial additives listed. The finished product offers more than one use at home: spread it on bread, stir it into tangerine tea, or try it in a tangerine latte. You leave with something edible and personal, not just a photo from a short activity.

What happens during the 2:00 PM class
The scheduled activity lasts one hour, from 2:00 to 3:00 PM. Arrive at least 10 minutes early, giving yourself time to find the correct building and settle in before the session begins. The itinerary describes a guided jam-making class, not a full farm tour, so plan on spending most of your booked hour making and learning about jam.
The setting is a white building on the first floor of the Wuling Grandma’s House Farm. The jam-making area has been described as clean, and there is a café attached to the property. That gives you a place to pause, but the café is not part of the stated inclusions. Welcome fruit is included with the activity.
You start with tangerines grown in Mureung 2-ri. The guide introduces the varieties, then explains how to make the jam. Jang has led sessions with clear, friendly instruction, and one class included a Chinese-subtitled instructional video. The supplied package information lists Korean-speaking staff, so if you need instruction in a particular language, confirm that detail when booking rather than assuming every session will be conducted in English.
The method is presented as easy to follow, making this a reasonable choice even if you do not cook much. You work through the process yourself, with guidance available as you go. The activity is suitable for participants aged eight and older, so it can work for families with school-age children, provided they are comfortable taking part in a food-making class.
At the end, you have your own tangerine jam to take away. The precise jar size and packing details are not specified, so do not count on a particular quantity. Still, the basic appeal is clear: you get to taste the fruit, learn how its varieties differ, and make a useful souvenir with your own hands.
The taste of Jeju, with less sugar
Jeju tangerines are familiar across South Korea, but this class gives you a more specific way to think about them. You are not only tasting a finished product. You are comparing fresh fruit and seeing how the character of different seasonal varieties can shape a preserve.
Murungfarm’s recipe puts pulp ahead of added sweetness. That approach can let the fruit’s natural flavor come through, though your own batch will still reflect the season and the particular tangerines available. The farm describes its product as a blend of varieties, which makes the flavor layered rather than dependent on one type of fruit.
For you, that means the class has a little more substance than a souvenir-making session with a fixed result. You get a brief introduction to local produce, then take part in turning it into something you can use later. If you like cooking, regional food, or practical crafts, that combination is the main draw.
The jam also travels well as a memory of Jeju. You can use it as a spread, add it to tea, or make a tangerine latte. The class is short enough to fit into a day of sightseeing, but it is not a substitute for a broader farm visit or a long food tour. Go for the hands-on hour and the chance to meet a local product in a direct way.
Reaching Murungfarm in rural Seogwipo
The address is 35-8 Jungsanganseo-ro 2881beon-gil, Mureung-ri, Daejeong-eup, Seogwipo, Jeju-do, South Korea. The location is also given as 35-8, so use the full Korean address when arranging directions. One visitor nearly walked into a field after missing the exact site and advised taking a taxi directly to the address. That is sensible advice if you are unfamiliar with the area.
The class does not include transport. The listed meeting point is the farm itself, and there is no group departure transfer described. Build your own route and allow time for the final approach, especially if you are relying on a taxi or navigating rural roads.
The session starts at 2:00 PM and ends around 3:00 PM. You must attend at the time selected when booking, and the operator says late arrivals and no-shows cannot be refunded. The schedule may shift due to traffic or weather, so check your confirmation for any updates.
The farm’s rural setting can be part of the appeal. The surrounding area has been described as pleasant for photographs, and the café offers a place to relax. But the location makes this less convenient than a class in central Seogwipo. If you are already exploring the west or southwest of Jeju, it may fit neatly into your day; if not, account for the extra journey when comparing it with activities closer to your accommodation.
Does the price make sense?
The package price is shown from US$23.59, while the experience summary gives a starting figure of US$25.95. Prices can vary by booking details or platform display, so check the final amount before you pay. Either way, judge the cost against what is included: a one-hour guided class, admission to Murungfarm, welcome fruit, and the jam you make.
That is fair value if you want an activity rather than another packaged food purchase. You get to learn about local tangerines, taste the fruit, and take part in making a product that has several uses at home. The fee is less compelling if you only want to buy jam or if the rural trip would require a costly taxi ride solely for this hour.
There is no information about class size, the amount of jam produced, or café prices. If those details matter to you, ask before booking. The experience has a clear focus and a short duration, so you can make a decision without expecting a full-day outing.
The cancellation terms are straightforward: cancel at least 24 hours before the activity date, in Jeju local time, for a full refund. In extreme weather or other unforeseen events, the operator may cancel and offer either a new date or a full refund. Confirmation is expected within 24 hours of booking; contact customer support if it does not arrive.
Who should book this class?
I’d recommend the session if you enjoy cooking, want a low-key activity with a local food connection, or need a change from Jeju’s larger sightseeing stops. It is also a good fit for families with children aged eight or older who can follow a guided activity. You do not need to be an experienced cook to take part.
It may be less suitable if you are short on time, do not want to travel to rural Seogwipo, or are looking for a long farm tour. Pets are prohibited. The class is about jam, fruit, and a manageable hour of hands-on work, not a broad range of farm activities.
Book it if you like the idea of making something you can eat later and want to understand a little more about Jeju’s tangerine varieties. Skip it if the journey to Mureung-ri would outweigh the appeal of a short workshop. For the right schedule, it is a pleasingly practical way to bring a taste of Jeju home.
