Suria Helang Lui was born out of my dream of having a farm producing food local to Malaysia, without the use of pesticides and as “organic” as possible with comfortable living quarters. After almost 10 years of looking for the right location based on access to infrastructure (road, electricity, communication and water), within 40 km from my principal residence, good soil with as much “original” top soil as possible, and close to high-density of consumers, I found the right location for me in Sungai Lui, Ulu Langat, Selangor.
The farm focusses on fruits and vegetables, Malaysian herbs, fresh water fish and eggs. Crop rotation is practiced as well as natural composting to continually improve on the soil quality. Among the crops are tapioca (ubi kayu pulut and merah), corn, ubi keledek, bananas, pumpkin/squash, spinach, pucuk manis, various herbs and condiments, and chilli (cili kampung), to name a few.
The ultimate aim is to be self-sufficient whereby one need only purchase sugar, salt and oil in order to create meals.
