OM KAMPOT PERMACULTURE FOODFOREST
Established in 2013, it is one of the original permaculture projects in Cambodia. OM Kampot Permaculture Foodforest is located approximately 22 km from Kampot. It is dedicated to mimicking nature in the gardens to provide food — a permaculture farm created with passion by Akoo and his family.
Experience a natural approach to living in the Kampot province — this project is a great place to observe and learn from nature. Volunteer work will include assisting in developing and maintaining the food gardens. If you are looking for a secluded location, you will love the energy of this ever-growing project.
Volunteers are responsible for their own cooking. There is an abundance of wild edible greens and other foods growing. We suggest that you allow a budget of between $1 and $2 per day to supplement what is available from the food forest.
