At present I do not have any rice to bring to customers, but as soon as the harvest is complete in the next two weeks I will be able to bring between 8 and 10 varieties of rice for sale, all freshly milled and in fact newly harvested.
All the onions varieties including garlic are bought in for the shop and so offered to delivery customers as well.
The bees honey is a fresh source from harvesting bee hives in the forest and not in bee keeping boxes. Harvesting though illegal is not a threat to the environment as the bees constantly find new places to build their hives and bees are not killed or harmed in harvesting.
One liter tetra packs of long life milk is sold in stores at Rs 125 a bottle and so selling fresh milk unadulterated and straight after milking at Rs 50 is a bargain, especially when comparing the price of 400g of powdered milk at Rs 300.
The corn is arguably the only corn grown in the western province and plucked just before packing.
Yes some products are cheaper in America!!!
ReplyDeleteSpent a couple of days reading your blogs (4 of them, I think). Great write-ups, and a very good insight into the life of a farmer. What keeps me reading is how you made me appreciate all the finer things in life, so thank you very much.
ReplyDeleteI would like to purchase forest bee honey in the large bottle size of 750ml, if I am not wrong. Will that be possible to get it from Negombo? Alternatively, can you point me to the right place I could get in Colombo?
Being a non-local who is so used to eating only Thai Jasmine rice, I am tempted to sample some of your organic rice varieties. Where would I be able to buy samples of a few varieties of your organic rice as well?
Once again, thanks for sharing your blog, and I hope to read more of your adventures & new experiences in farming.
Cheers
