Silk Farm


 The silk farm tour is part of Artisans Angkor, a social business best known for its various artisan workshops. We  saw the mulberry trees growing on site that sustain the diet of the silk worm, the raw cocoons that are harvested and boiled, and the intricate processes of unwinding fibers, dyeing threads, and spinning and weaving them. It makes you appreciate why silk is no cheap commodity.
