Agriculture is our wisest pursuit

Founded in 2019, SK Farm & Agriculture is reshaping agriculture in Sri Lanka’s North with a commitment to sustainability and a thriving community. Starting as a 142-acre coconut plantation, the farm has quickly evolved into a diverse agro enterprise of various crops, livestock, and innovative farming practices. This venture prioritizes sustainable farming, education, and an organic ecosystem, making SK Farms a pioneering force in Northern Sri Lanka’s agricultural landscape.

The journey commenced with coconut cultivation, planting 12000 young coconut plants in 2019 and 2020. Today, the farm spans over three parcels of land running in 142 acres, 48 acres and 31 acres respectively. This includes coconut plantations and additional plots for diverse agricultural activities. SK Farms is not just about cultivation; it’s a wholesome approach to integrated farming, which includes livestock, cashew farming, paddy fields, and an agro-section dedicated to various crops.

About the village Aliyavalai

Along the shores of Jaffna District, Maruthangeeni is not just a fisher village; it’s a resilient community that has emerged from the shadows of war and the echoes of the 2004 tsunami.

From Chaos to Calmness: Maruthangeeni, once a witness to the ravages of war, has transformed into a symbol of resilience. The scars of the past are softened by the soothing sounds of the waves, as this village embraces a new chapter of hope and rebuilding.

Fishing: War may have disrupted the rhythm of daily life, but the spirit of Maruthangeeni’s fisherfolk remained unbroken. Today, the sea, once a source of uncertainty, has become a beacon of opportunity, sustaining the village through the fisheries that define its livelihood. Maruthangeeni belongs to Vethilaikeeni, Aliyavalai, and Pullavelli, alo coastal villages that, like ours, have faced adversity. The Healing Power of the Ocean: Close to the beach, Maruthangeeni is not just a fisher village; it’s a place of healing. The gentle waves wash away the memories of tumultuous times, offering solace and hope to a community that has faced both the turmoil of war and the fury of a tsunami.

Since 2019, SK Farm is one of the leading and professional farms of this area, in where we working hard every day in challenging conditions, to establish an operating company and produce for the community from the village, country and beyond.

Our Stories

My name is Jegan Kristilan, a 43-year-old born in Colombo. I became a refugee in Kilinochchi in 1983 after the July riots. I was conscripted into the LTTE Sea Tigers during the war, surrendered in 2009, and became a prisoner of war until my release in 2011 from Pusa and Welikada prisons.

Jegan Kristilan

I'm Anusuya, 31, from Aliyavala. Faced with heart disease at 21, my husband left due to the hardships. Struggling to survive, I had to send my 16-year-old daughter to a children's home for a stable education and living. It's a painful decision, but essential for her well-being during this challenging time.

Anusuya

My name is Lalita, aged 43. I am a mother of three girls, the eldest is 16, the next 14, and the youngest is 12.  I was born into a very poor family and experienced many hardships and tragedies in life. I lost my two-and-a-half-year-old son to the 2004 tsunami and barely survived after being near death.  The grief of losing my son for many years has not compensated for the loss even today. The civil ware also took its toll on my family and myself.

Lalita

My name is Indika, and at present, I work at SK Farms in the capacity of Driver/Bodyguard and Friend to the Family. I was born and raised in Vavuniya in a family of 10, and I joined the Army in 1995, as a commando after I finished my A/levels. My story is different to most others at SK Farms in that this land holds a special and significant place in my heart.

Indika

The war had an impact on all of us. But I managed to somehow continue my education. After my GCE A/L, I went to Vavuniya where I studied English, MS Office, and sewing. After my father’s death, due to the family circumstances, I had to find work and I worked as a rural bank manager. But the income was insufficient so I had to look for other jobs, and that’s when I was recommended SK farms by our gramasevaka. I am now working as an administrator and I’m very happy to help the organization grow.
