History
The leading global LOHAS company that realizes the beautiful harmony between humans and nature
On May 12, 1981, a small grocery store opened in Apgujeong-dong in Seoul’s Gangnam area, under the name “Pulmuone Organic Produce Farm Shop.” This shop, where organic produce from Mr. Won Kyung-sun’s Pulmuone Farm and from farmers associated with the Jeongnonghoi (“Just Agricultural Society”) was sold, was Korea’s first organic food store and the birthplace of the Pulmuone Company today. Although it was small, the opening of this shop heralded the launch of a business that was to spread the value of organic farming across Korea. Many years have passed since then. Now, Pulmuone has become one of the most respected companies in Korea as well as the representative global LOHAS company that seeks to promote beautiful harmony between humans and nature.
