Watareka Farmers is a group of small-scale farmers that practice organic agricultural methods and cultivate toxin-free fruits and vegetables for their local community. They maintain a diversity of crops, build soil health, and conserve water through mulching and other techniques. Group members maintain plant nurseries and produce compost, vermicompost, liquid fertilizers, and pest repellents from natural, locally available materials. Watareka Farmers works with Sri Lanka Human Development Foundation to promote natural farming techniques, reduce carbon emissions, and protect local biodiversity and indigenous seeds. They are verified organic under a local participatory guarantee system (PGS).
