ចំការម្រេចសុធី
A family-run organic pepper farm near Kep, offering free guided tours of Kampot pepper and tastings of green, black, red, and white pepper.
Kampot pepper is a Cambodian specialty protected by a geographical indication, and Kep province is part of its growing region. Sothy's Pepper Farm is run by a Cambodian-German couple and grown organically. It offers free English-language tours, showing visitors the pepper vines and explaining how green peppercorns are processed into black, red, and white pepper. Visitors can taste different peppers and pepper tea. The on-site restaurant serves simple dishes flavored with pepper, and the shop prices are fair. The farm is in the countryside about 12 km northeast of Kep town, roughly 30 minutes by tuk-tuk. It can be combined with the salt fields and Secret Lake on the same route. It is generally open from 8:00 to 17:00. Dirt roads become muddy in the rainy season.
