  Beschreibung

  This is a sustainable, organic, and socially responsible enterprise founded and managed by three Swiss professionals (Roberto, Benno, and Dieter) each with a close tie to Cambodia. On site, there are 3 passionate Cambodian team leaders and more than 20 fixed employees, in gender parity.
  
  We are located in the Kampot Pepper Geografical Indication area (southern Cambodia), where the finest pepper in the world is grown. In fact, the Gardens boast a special microclimate, filled with quartz-rich soil, which combined together with centuries-old traditional crafts, synergic agriculture, and permaculture helps create the unique blend of aroma of the Kampot Pepper PGI.
  
  We were established in 2014 on a total surface of 33 hectars, 7 of which dedicated to the cultivation of Kampot Pepper. The remaining land comprises a veggie gardens and is planted on an ongoing base with a variety of plants and trees, the ultimate goal being to recreate a forest like environment which shall provide the highest possible botanical diversity. This is a serene, safe and very enjoyablenatural space populated by animals, and by the infectious smiles of the local workers.
