Community
Fernweh employs many local women to manage their Peaches and Pears B&B, as well as other aspects of the travel projects. Locals also helped to handcraft all of the furniture for the rooms and help to manage the organic farm which provides nutritious food for guests and the community. They have also now opened a boutique shop where they display the handicrafts made by the locals. These include pickles, jams, and juices produced by the ladies of the NGO. Also, they are in the process of teaching ladies how to make handmade, organic natural soaps using raw material found in the Himalayas.

Environment
The Peaches and Pears B&B helps preserve the environment through their practices. These include the addition of solar panels & their farm-to-table methods. Their organic farm produces much of the food they eat--if not, they purchase from local farmers.
