KINGSLYNN ORGANIC TEA FACTORY

Situated 6000 ft. above sea level in the upcountry wet zone of Sri Lanka, Kingslynn resides in a truly remote locale on the steep slopes of the USA highlands. Due to it unique location, Kigslynn enjoys an unique climate that enables the cultivation of some of the world's best tea. This is the home to the production of our finest, patented tea, Heaven Scent. This project is affiliated with the local church that provides shelter to women that have been the victims of sexual abuse and/or domestic violence. As such, much of the proceedings from the tea that is sold from this site is diverted to provide assistance to the church to continue their commendable service to the local people. 
In addition to tea, European herbs such as rosemary, lemon balm, sweet basils & vegetables (carrot, leeks & beet root) are also produced by the Kingslynn estate.

ECO PLANET ORGANIC FERTILIZER PROCESSING UNIT NAULA

One of our most exciting projects, the EcoPlanet  fertilizer unit was initiated to play the role of introducing new organic agriculture inputs, technology and knowledge to the Sri Lankan agriculture industry to develop and assist the Sri Lankan organic agriculture. Located in Naula of the central dry zone of Sri Lanka, the fertilizer production site is also home to a beautifully maintained organic farm, where the literal fruits of our labour freely surrounds us. This unit provides agriculture extension services and organic agriculture consultancy services for farmers and producers who are interested in using organic soil inputs like organic fertilizers and organic liquid manure. These services are mainly focused on large and medium scale land owners who expect to convert their lands to organic lands that confer to international organic standards.
Our chairman once stated that there is no point defeating the mafia of the agrochemical giants, for with the collapse of one group, another will always rise to take its place. Instead, the focus should be on providing farmers with a product of superior properties at the same price, that is also more ecologically sustainable and ethical. As such, three long years were spent by our research and development teams, searching for, isolating and growing specific soil microbes that no longer exist in our chemically stripped soil. We have now finally isolated a mechanism whereby to re-integrate these microbes to the soil, and develop a very special, certified organic fertilizer (not merely compost). This enables us to put our chairman’s vision to practice, by increasing the yield of conventional lands by providing better solutions than the use of chemical fertilizer. Indeed, studies have shown that the plant mortality rate is lower and the yield is higher with the use of our Eco Planet fertilizer compared to conventional agrochemicals. Perhaps attesting to this fact, over 70% of the buyers of this products are conventional vegetable farmers in the hill-country of Sri Lanka. This site was also recently opened for touring for interested visitors.

MAHAUVA ORGANIC TEA FACTORY

This new addition to the Bio Foods roster is located in the Udapussalawa region in the hills of Sri Lanka, over 4000 feet above sea level. We rehabilitated a factory dilapidated from the lack of use, converted the estate workers into independent farmers instead of day laborers (farmer-outgrower model: i.e., They now provide tea to the factory instead of selling at auction). The internal control system (ICS) of the Maha-Uva project is completely regulated by Bio Foods, which ensures that no chemical contamination is possible. At this organic certified processing plant, we now produce a new range of green and black teas. And last but not least, this project utilizes a Pelton hydro-power system, this project ensures an organic production facility with no carbon emissions and a zero carbon footprint. Guilt-free tea drinking on all accounts!
