Positive impact
Hacienda Petac plays an important role in its community, employing over 20 locals from Petac and neighboring villages. The estate nurtures biodiversity with more than 200 hardwood trees, vanilla orchids, and thriving bee colonies. It avoids chemicals by producing its own organic mosquito repellent and composts kitchen waste to enrich the soil, modeling sustainable practices for local families.
