My visit to Ambewela Farm - Nuwara Eliya

I am very fond of going there, and I know all its inhabitants. In Sri Lanka Ambewala Farm is a wonderful picturesque view of the beautiful hills in Nuwara Eliya.  It is interesting when taking a walk towards the farm. I actually spent more than one hour with a stop at the cafe. But some cover the farm in less time.

Ambewela is a small town in Nuwera Eliya. It’s also a well-known dairy company. The weather in Ambewela is very suitable for dairy farming. This area is also sometimes called the ‘Little New Zealand’ because Ambewela farms are made up of two farms called Ambewela Farm and New Zealand Farm.

Because of the great climate in the hill country, different type of cattle as well as modern technology and top quality pastures where cattle graze freely can be found.  The farms have pure bending cattle from New Zealand. 

In order to maintain the quality of milk from the cows, the farm management takes great concern towards them in order to provide them with a balanced diet and sterilized water. They are also given excellent healthcare on a 24-hour service.  The largest grasslands of Sri Lanka also can be found in Ambewela farms. In addition to the cattle, it has rabbits, pigs and goats.

In the afternoon when you pass the lovely grasslands with the cows from New Zealand grazing freely it’s a beautiful sight. Sometimes you feel stench smell especially in the barns where the cattle are bred.

You can have a glass of fresh milk in the Ambewela cafe in the middle of the farm. You also can have a look for production manufacturing areas inside the farm. You can also buy different types of cheese. They are usually cheaper than the supermarkets. The farm also cultivates different varieties of vegetables like seed potatoes, and vegetables such as lettuce, carrot, cauliflower and cucumber.
