History of Jesus Farm: 2007

After serving the poor in Old Peak Sneng Village in Siem Reap, Cambodia for several years, the Catholic Church dreamt of having a farm to help the poor by providing:

• An example of efficient land use

• Seedlings to encourage people to grow different kinds of vegetables and fruit trees for their own consumption and as a source of income

• Training to the local community on how to raise farm animals more productively

• The produce of the farm would eventually enable the Church to become self-sufficient as we continue to help the poor in the area. 

• The farm would also serve as a quiet place for the youth of our different parishes to come for reflection and formation activities.

In 2007, through God’s providence and the generous help of many friends from all over the world, we bought a piece of land in what is now called New Peak Sneng. After 3 months of hard work by our dedicated staff and workers, we were finally able to sow the seeds of our dream.
