Paddy
In some seasons the farmland is flooded and planted with rice, terrace by terrace.
The farm
A working farm for twenty years
Five of our eighteen acres are farmland. Long before the first guest, they grew vegetables for leading supermarkets, luxury hotels and airline catering in Sri Lanka — and they still do.
What we grow What we grow
Paddy in one season, vegetables in the next
What is in the ground depends on the weather and the time of year. These are the crops we have been growing most recently.
Cabbage
Grown in long rows across the vegetable beds.
Green chilli
A staple of every Sri Lankan kitchen.
Eggplant
One of the vegetables we grow when the season suits it.
Lettuce
Grown in the vegetable beds and picked fresh.
Harvest with us
If a crop is ready, come and help
Staying on a working farm means seeing the work. When a crop is ready to harvest during your stay, you are welcome to join in — it is included, like everything else on the property.
Ask us when you arrive what is ready that week.

Harvest with us
If a crop is ready while you are here, help bring it in alongside the people who farm it every day.
Walk the fields
Walk the paddy terraces and the vegetable beds on your own, or ask us to show you round.
A farm before a resort
Before the first guest arrived, these acres grew vegetables for supermarkets, hotels and airline catering in Sri Lanka.
