The name "Ruby Hills" pays homage to Mogok's renowned ruby resources—the origin of 90% of the world's rubies. However, the region's historical dependence on this sole natural resource has led to certain challenges. Ruby Hills aims to reshape perceptions of the area by spotlighting more than what lies beneath the earth's surface. Their vision is to fortify and diversify the Mogok community by creating agricultural jobs and promoting knowledge sharing. Ruby Hills functions not only as a farm but also as a training hub for sustainable and organic farming practices. The majority of their harvesters are resilient women, forming the bedrock of their farm. Their commitment to employing women and ethnic minorities in Mogok is a testament to their dedication to female economic empowerment and an all-encompassing economic progression.
