Along with its factory, Tasty Bite has an approximately 30 acre farm where they grow spinach, tomatoes, eggplant, and onions. This produce is used in the meals they process and sell, and luckily for us it is also picked fresh and used in the meals that are made by the chef in the guesthouse. Sustainability is a major focus for the company and they strive to adopt best practices for agriculture and resource conservation. The bio-filter pictured below will replace the effluent treatment facility, use less chemicals to process effluent and help to conserve water. The irrigation well is another conservation method.
Not pictured are the “green” biogas boiler that uses briquettes made of factory waste; experimental farming area; and inside of factory – photos not permitted. Will try to post pics of the first two next week.
