Collection: Gaura Estate

The Gaura Estate is a family-owned-and-operated 815-hectare mixed crop plantation on the island of West Sumba, Indonesia. The estate was established in 1990 with the goal of creating a best-in-class plantation which would serve to improve the livelihoods of the rural community in which it is located. The farm currently employs around 60 full-time staff who live on the plantation, and have access to a free school for their children and their own land for food crops. During harvest season, the farm employs an additional 150 workers from the surrounding villages to help with the processing of the cacao. In partnership with ICCRI, the team also operates a national cacao seedling project for farmers across the region. Show Less
