SHAN ORCHARD
DISCOVER 1ST MYANMAR AVOCADO OIL COMPANY
Regardless of whether you have been farming for years, are just starting out, or simply are interested in agriculture, Shan Orchard offers a unique experience. Shan Orchard is a testament to the local people, culture, and land all working in unison to uphold the time-honored tradition of orchards. We married together Burmese traditions with Californian ingenuity to build a special place. Beyond our craft of producing cold-pressed avocado oil and growing avocados, we apply our core values of discipline, entrepreneurship, mission-focused, respect/trust, and family into our personal relationships and local communities. We believe a good business, like good avocado, is not primarily of any one element but is a perfectly unique balance of all elements. We have now grown our business to include personal care products, bottled drinking water, macadamia and silkworms.
