The background behind Peach Orchard in Bhutan
Peach Orchard is an Integrated Horticulture Development Program for commercial deciduous fruit production in Bhutan. Following the guidelines of the Late King Jigme Dorji Wangchuck.
A policy by the late King Jigme Dorji Wangchuck that you can find in his book, “When Planting an Orchard”; The primary objective in agricultural development should be self-sufficiency and maximize wealth using available land. Abandoned lands and other fertile lands should only be utilized for raising fruit and vegetable crops.
Bhutan’s orchards are located in the mountain slopes. Ideally between cultivated fields and forest cover.
Must Try
Zumzin Peach wine has its own special characteristic coming from natural, pure and ripe peach flavor. It leaves a deep impression in drinkers whenever they take a sip. If you have a chance, don’t miss it – really worth a try and I am sure you won’t regret.
Thank you my friend Sasanka Das for the bottles. I will conclude by saying, “Zumzin is a unique gift of happiness from Bhutan”.
