Kamoka Pearl Farm produces pearls from oysters grown in the nutrient-rich lagoon of Ahe Atoll, 300 miles northeast of Tahiti. They are known for adhering to the strictest levels of sustainable farming in the pearl world and have pioneered many eco-farming techniques that not only help the environment, but also improve the quality of their pearls.
We talk about living in French Polynesia, sailing there in a ferocement sailboat, Bernard Moitessier, starting the pearl farm, learning from the Japanese pearl farmers, how pearls are cultured, working with the local ecosystem and letting the local fish clean the oysters, living off-grid on an atoll, storms, making jewelry with the pearls, and more.
