Our Location - Wilgamuwa, Sri Lanka

Saraii will be set up in the beautiful village of Wilgamuwa, in the Matale District of Sri Lanka. Saaraketha Pvt Limited an Agro Forestry company will partner with Saraii to provide us with land and some of their infrastructure. Saaraketha has a model farm that includes agri cultivation of different fruits and vegetables, hardwood trees, rice paddy fields, rain water harvesting areas.

They also have a state of the art knowledge center, which is called the CREATE Center (Community Robotics, Education and Technology Empowerment), this center will support us with a location to train our employees, with 3G internet coverage, access to computers, conference room and presentation equipment. Saaraketha has also set up a demonstration kitchen and pavilion, which we will also utilize for preparation of our organic meals and for hosting lunch or dinner events. The pavilion can accommodate around 20 - 30 people comfortably, where they can relax and overlook the farm.

Saaraketha Organic farm is our first choice for setting up Saraii, but we do plan to conduct a field survey on different locations around the island.
