There is a pepper product with the same avian process. The workers meander around the plantations and collect. Apparently, highly prized and of course and priced due to low quantities produced.Jep wrote:The worlds most expensive coffee comes from the Jacu bird poop,not sure about peppercorns.EdinWigan wrote:A quick visit to Amazon and the prices Kampot Pepper if fetching is enormous.
Is there still a special one, that has passed through a bird?

The farms that I am familiar with do not search for bird-pooped pepper corns. They harvest them from the vines. But yes, there is a bird that loves the Red Kampot Pepper.

Me, my Khmer GF and a newly wedded couple will be visiting Kep this weekend, would love to visit your pepper plantation for a short visit.
Would you be so kind to PM me with the location?
Thanks in advance.
Well water is ok, in so far as I know.Kampot Homesteader wrote:such nice soil for pepper. it's great seeing that deep of an excavation and still having that laterite red dirt.
are the people at KPPA still saying that all watering must be done from ponds? i have heard this from them before...
similar logic to only growing on wooden posts vs. brick towers. that was the way it was grown prior to modern pumps.... collected rain water.
they where saying a few years back that it was o.k. to pump up the water, but that it had to "rest" in open ponds before the approved it for watering.
is that still the case? both with wood vs brick and pumped water vs rain water?
and also.... a really nice farm.
good job.
The problem the KPPA had was some farms trucking Secret Lake water during dry season last year. The act itself (although a bit uncivilised) isn't the end of the world. The quality of the water is the issue.
The lake water is full of contaminants (run off from other, non-pepper farms etc...).
One of the bigger farms is selling pepper that shouldn't have the organic label attached to it as a result.

In 2012 we came up with the idea to turn the land into a pepperplantation. I have put together som pictures to show the development from 2007 until today. I hope some of you will enjoy it.
First encounter
First thing we did was to build a wall, approximately 400 meters
In 2012 we started the ground work for the plantation
The soil from the pond was used to level the land
Next up was the watertower
First field with Kampot Pepper, 700 poles (September 2012)
Preparation for the second field, 1200 poles (July 2014)
Second field
Ground work for the shop

This is how it looks today, January 2017

Hi Euroboy. How's the farm coming along?
Are they calling you Sergent Pepper yet?
