PARADISE FARM - REVIEW
Paradise Farm is inspiring, fascinating and a real breath of fresh air. Hidden deep within the rolling hills, tea and rubber plantations of fertile Kitugala, the only sounds you’ll hear are birdsong, animal calls and the rustle of leaves, with the occasional ding on an old hub cap to signal a break for the workers on the encircling organic farm.
Set up in 1998 by Worldview International Foundation, the farm is designed to train villagers in effective, sustainable agricultural practices and so improve their standard of living, while also inspiring a deeper respect, and love for, organic nature. To help finance the project, it has recently opened its doors to paying guests.
You'll stay in a bungalow or the stunning open-fronted villa, 450 yards up the track from the farmhouse, which looks out across a wide infinity pool to the lush plantations and blue mountains beyond. However, be prepared to share your abode with lots of insects, bats and frogs - part of the charm of the place but it's not for everyone! |
