About us
”WE BRING YOU NATURE´S BEST AND GIVE BACK TO OUR COMMUNITIES”
our origin
From the snow capped peaks of the Andes mountains to the lush depths of the Amazon jungle and the austere Pacific Coast deser, Peru´s abundance of special climates are the origin of unique foods found nowhere else in the world.
The first records indicate that the first owner was a Inca Cacique.
A Spaniard married the chief's daughter and became a “Hacienda”, with the typical architecture of the time, which is still preserved.
In 1813 the Argentine military man Francisco de Paula Otero arrived in Tarma, who married Petronila, daughter of the Aveleira family (who owned the Hacienda at that moment) and armed a small army to fight alongside General José de San Martin.
Having already finished the campaign, Francisco de Paula Otero was appointed the military political governor of the Tarma intendancy. Subsequently, Francisco de Paula Otero fights in different battles such as Junín and Ayacucho, which led him to be appointed a Major General of the Liberation Government and first prefect of Arequipa.
Hacienda La Florida was adquired by families of Italian immigrants, in 1940 and from that moment dedicated themselves to agriculture and cultural exchange with the locals, promoting the development of the area and creating jobs.

BIO-PE-149 | DE-OKO-070
We work with smallholder farmers in the most fertile valley of the Peruvian Amazon and the Central Highlands in order to produce healthy foods of the highest quality. Greenbox promotes development in areas that lack infrastructure and adequate markets. Limited local demand prevents farmers from receiving good returns and consistent buyers. We ensure a fair price, provide technical assistance and help maximize production. In this way, we guarantee a high quality product and forge a committed team that promotes development for farmers and their families.
GREENBOX DOESN’T WASTE ANYTHING THAT NATURE GIVES US
