It started with a craving for the rare and the raw. A German raw food enthusiast, driven by the search for the world’s most exotic tropical fruits, landed in Sri Lanka—and simply never looked back. What was meant to be a journey of the palate became a journey of the soul.
He didn’t just find fruit; he found home. He fell in love with a Sri Lankan lady, married, and is now the proud father of three. While he only returns to Germany once every decade, his roots here have grown deep into the tropical soil.
Building everything from scratch, he became one with the land, but the road to fulfillment wasn’t always smooth. It was a stony path of searching until he remembered the Word and decided to follow the Way, the Truth, and the Life.
Today, Agape Roots is more than just an orchard exporting premium fruits to Germany. Together with his wife, he has opened their world to guests from across the globe. It is a place where the wild hospitality of the Sri Lankan jungle meets the sweetness of top-tier fruit and the unshakable foundation of Christian joy.
Welcome to the jungle. Welcome to our simple, rooted life.
