Phu Quoc Countryside - Pepper Farm

Phu Quoc Countryside - Pepper Farm offers an immersive experience into the world of Phu Quoc pepper, a spice deeply rooted in the island's culture and economy. Unlike mass-produced spices, Phu Quoc pepper boasts a unique flavor profile thanks to the island's mineral-rich soil and ideal climate. Jenny's family bought the farm in 1998, and in 2008, she opened it to tourists. Visitors can take a guided tour of the farm, learning about the different stages of pepper cultivation, from planting and nurturing the vines to harvesting and drying the peppercorns. The farm cultivates black, white, and red pepper, each with its distinct characteristics. Black pepper is sun-dried and bold, white pepper is made from ripe peppercorns with the outer layer removed, and red pepper is known for its spicy, subtly fruity taste. Beyond pepper, the farm also grows a variety of fruits, vegetables, and herbs, showcasing the diversity of Phu Quoc's agriculture. Visitors can participate in hands-on activities such as harvesting peppercorns or other produce, gaining a deeper appreciation for the farmer's way of life. The farm store offers a range of pepper products and local specialties, perfect for souvenirs or culinary gifts. You can find salted pepper with lime or chili, white pepper, and premium ripe pepper. Phu Quoc pepper farms date back hundreds of years, with farmers using traditional, organic methods free from synthetic chemicals. The island's hot, humid, and salty climate is ideal for growing high-quality peppercorns.
