Poverty and hunger are the foundation of our work. Through sustainable agriculture with a strong focus on polyculture we create jobs, combat hunger by improving food availability and counter rural migration. We ensure that a doctor visits the village around our farm at least quarterly so even the poorest have access to healthcare. We also provide direct medical support to our employees.

We support education by actively taking part in school operations and promoting sports activities. In this way we believe we can offer young people in the region better prospects. In addition, we sponsor school scholarships for the top students in each class.

Our work requires clean water, which we also share with the surrounding community. We have drilled an 85-metre-deep well on our production site and supply local residents with clean water two hours a day (usually from 16:00 to 18:00). Our goal is to continue such investments at the other location where we run an agricultural operation.

We value quality over quantity. The right company size allows us to employ more people and fewer machines. Our cultivation practices are free of pesticides and chemicals. We apply what we call traditional farming, making the best possible use of the environment.
Our polyculture helps preserve soil, plants and biodiversity.
We strive to develop our staff so we can achieve gentle economic growth by producing goods for both local and international needs. Promoting this personal development keeps us flexible and capable of crafting tailor-made products beyond standard offerings.
We aim to inform consumers through high-quality, exclusive products far removed from mass production.
Our packaging is biodegradable, compostable, reusable and recyclable—environmentally friendly in every respect.
We produce sustainably and make use of everything our land offers: beverages, food for people and animals, and compost for nutrients in the plantations.
Where possible we use—or will use—photovoltaics (lighting, security, mini air-conditioning for intermediate storage). We collect and use rainwater.
For construction and engineering we use local materials whenever feasible.
We train and develop our employees in equality and environmental protection, thereby ensuring continuous improvement and progress in their core tasks.
