Our Model Farm is located near Iquitos, Peru, at the headwaters of the Amazon River. The surrounding rainforest is among the most biodiverse habitats on earth. The banks of the rivers winding through this rainforest are inhabited by a struggling populace, desperate for opportunities to better their livelihoods. By partnering with the local farmers to grow delicious and healthy superfoods, we can both improve their standard of living and safeguard the biodiversity of the remaining rainforest.
Our Model Farm is a scalable project, incorporating elements of agro-ecology and permaculture. As we innovate, observe, and adapt we are always striving for greater efficiency. For us scalability means growth without compromise.
