Our Story

Sustainable agriculture and economic empowerment in Honduras

The Stephens Family has grown trees for over 50 years. In 2016 we established Zalis Farms in Honduras — today one of the world's largest breadfruit tree farms, spanning over 250 acres and supporting more than 100 local farmers.

Cultivos Eden Today

To date, our farms employ 25 full-time staff and have more than 18,000 trees, with an additional 700 acres committed to future planting. This expansion brings us closer to our goal of planting 100,000 trees by 2027, providing stability to the environment and the community.

Our immediate priority is getting trees planted as quickly as possible.
