Açai palms thrive without heavy agricultural interventions. They do not require fertilizers or pesticides as they are grown in their natural habitat. 

It grows alongside other native plants like the Buriti palm tree and banana trees for example. 

Harvesting takes place by climbing to the top of the tree and handpicking the ripened berries to avoid deforestation, while preserving their cultural heritage.

Only ripe berries are collected, allowing the Açai palm tree to naturally regenerate.

Our growing partner subsidized the organic certification of more than 30 associated farmers. 

The communities are empowered to produce higher quality fruits and maintain biodiversity. From which they can earn a livelihood while preserving their cultural heritage.

The Açai tree (Euterpe oleracea) is a slender, multi-stemmed palm native to the Amazon rainforest, particularly in Brazil, Colombia, and Ecuador.

It grows in floodplains and wetlands, reaching up to 25 meters tall. The tree is famous for producing açai berries, which are rich in antioxidants, healthy fats, and nutrients.
