Ecological farm

Our farm is a diverse ecosystem of about 2 acres, the only part of the land that borders the river. We grow herbs, vegetables, flowers, fruit trees, grains and leafy greens.

A comprehensive list of all herbs at the Belipola farm can be found at this link. This list was created in 2015 by Thamindu with the guidance of Trudy. Most of these herbs were planted by Trudy and the farm team. Seeds were obtained through Sri Lankan and international networks.

The same format could be used to create a list for the vegetables, flowers and fruit trees found on the farm.

In 2015, Madhushani and Trudy conducted a SWOT analysis with the farm team - Abey, Karuna. The analysis found below is collective input from all mentioned before. It can also be found in the sub-page Staff Capacity Building 2015.
