Bokor Hydroponic Farm

A working hydroponic farm on Bokor Mountain, where vegetables are grown in nutrient-fed water systems rather than soil. Visitors can take a guided tour, learn how it works and buy produce straight from the growers.

What the farm is

Bokor Mountain Hydroponics Farm grows vegetables without soil. Each plant is fed a measured supply of water and nutrients, which the farm says keeps waste low and the crops healthy. It also describes its approach as natural farming.

The farm presents itself as an educational stop as well as a producer. Its stated aim is to show visitors how hydroponics works and why saving natural resources matters. It suits families, curious travellers and anyone interested in agriculture, and the source describes it as suitable for all ages.

What is grown

The farm reports more than 100 species of vegetables, chosen for flavour, texture and nutritional value. Crops commonly mentioned include:

  • Leafy greens such as lettuce, kale and spinach
  • Herbs including basil, mint and cilantro
  • Tomatoes
  • Cucumbers
  • Peppers

What is available on the day will depend on what is ready for harvest.

What you can do there

  • Guided tour of the farm and its hydroponic systems.
  • Educational sessions on hydroponics and sustainable agriculture, designed to be interactive.
