Our Story
A human chain from Chile to France, built on trust, respect for nature and the pursuit of excellence.
It all begins in the turberas — the vast, pristine peatlands of southern Chile, between Puerto Montt and Tierra del Fuego. In these landscapes where land and water merge, harvesting families have been carrying on the delicate art of gathering Sphagnum magellanicum for generations.
This ancestral know-how is passed from parent to child. Each harvester knows their peatland like their own home: where to pick, how much to leave, how to preserve the ecosystem so the moss grows back naturally. Their livelihood depends on the sustainability of this resource — which is why they are its first guardians.
Our Chilean partner, with over 20 years of experience exporting sphagnum, works closely with these rural communities. Every batch is inspected, sorted and carefully packed before being shipped by sea to Paris, where L'Or Vert handles distribution across the French and European markets.
