THE MIDIGAMA FRUIT FARM &
THE HEALING FOOD
The Midigama Fruit Farm (MFF) is an organic and regenerative land now home to over 70 species of animals and 40 varieties of trees and vegetables; a little paradise located close to where all the action is, yet, feels quite, remote and calm. MFF helps to conserve environment, improve regional economies, upgrade livelihoods of villages, develop supply chain linkages with small holdings enterprises, contribute socio-economic growth, offer solution to regional food security, assist to eliminate malnutrition, empower women employments through resurgence of the eco-system.
With great respect of the land, all the vegetables and fruits are grown using organic fertilizers and over 80% of what you will eat during the training comes straight from the farm. Simple, unprocessed, healing food for a unique farm to table experience that guarantees an optimal nutrition.
