Situated on the edge of the Sinharaja Rainforest, one of the world’s most vital biodiversity hotspots, Knuckles Valley carries a profound responsibility to protect and preserve the environment we call home. Our approach to land management is rooted in regenerative and sustainable agriculture, ensuring that our operations enhance, rather than deplete, the ecosystems around us. We prioritize chemical-free cultivation, opting for natural alternatives that protect soil health, safeguard water resources, and minimize harm to surrounding flora and fauna. Through agroforestry practices, we integrate diverse tree species within our plantations, creating balanced ecosystems that provide habitat for wildlife, prevent soil erosion, and improve long-term agricultural resilience. Our soil enrichment strategies focus on replenishing nutrients naturally, ensuring the continued fertility and productivity of our land while maintaining ecological harmony. In line with our circular economy philosophy, we ensure that no part of our operations goes to waste. Biochar, produced from cinnamon wood, is used as a soil enhancer, improving fertility while also contributing to carbon sequestration and emission reduction. Cinnamon leaf oil is extracted using steam distillation, a process sustainably fueled by the very biochar we produce, creating a self-sustaining loop of energy and resource use. Additionally, composting of discarded cinnamon leaves and other processing by-products allows us to return valuable organic matter to the soil, completing the cycle of regeneration. Through these practices, we not only reduce our environmental footprint but also actively contribute to ecosystem conservation, climate resilience, and biodiversity protection, ensuring that our 100-acre estate remains a thriving sanctuary for generations to come.
