Organic durian is a durian choosing not to use pesticides, fertilizers, genetically modified organisms, antibiotics and growth hormones.

Organic production is a holistic system designed to optimize the productivity and fitness of diverse communities within the agro-ecosystem, including soil organisms, plants, livestock and people.

Eco Valley founder Ocean Chuaand his family had long been avid consumers of durian or as he puts it: “My whole family is crazy about durians – my wife, mother and mother-in-law can eat it three times a day from morning to night”. The 30-acre farm is surrounded by the verdant greens of the Taman Negara forest reserve and has around 700 durian trees as well as rambutan, papaya, banana and mangosteen trees.The organic farm, make use of our natural environment. Like the fertiliser that we use is a combination of fermented seaweed as well as fallen leaves/grass which are mixed with soil and left to ferment. We treat the earth, not just the tree,” says Chua.

As a result of their careful ministrations, the soil on Chua’s farm now has a pH value of 6.5, so it is almost neutral.In contrast, most commercial durian farms that use chemical fertilisers have more acidic soil with a pH value of around 4.5 to 5.
The farm also uses pristine water from a waterfall nearby to irrigate the trees on the farm, lending to its wholesome appeal.

若被问及，最想吃什么榴梿？答案是：“一颗让人安心的榴梿。”

说到有机榴梿，它就是无化学药物、无化学肥料、无催生，任其自然成熟的有机榴莲，是那么的可遇不可求，但肉质柔软绵密，味道香浓的有机榴莲，首先是必须经过重重的零污染审核，才可从选地开始种植。侦察选地时，最理想的考量便是周围无左邻右舍，避免受到他家污染。

从事有机行业二十余载的EcoValley园主蔡文海先生说，“我的太太、妈妈、家里的小孩都爱吃榴梿，但是吃了榴梿常会发热气、生病。在马来西亚，我们对于榴梿会上火这件事都习以为常了；但，吃了我们的榴梿是绝对不会上火、不会口渴、甚至还会生津。” 植物和人，同样讲究地灵人杰，要种出一株株零污染的有机榴梿，走芭看地是第一关。蔡文海分析，他的园内这块地被相中的原因，是它处在整个区域的尾端，背靠原始森林。从泥土、堆肥、酵素、鱼肥、水源和自然生态，一一分析有机榴梿园该有的条件及生态环境。虽然已半荒废，榴梿树也呈萎顿、枯色，但优点是可从园里的D24和D2品种找出榴梿树树龄。

“老一辈的榴梿园如果有D2，就代表这园芭一定超过30年历史的，猫山王的树龄约为二十多年，猫山王、黑刺的树龄不会太老。开启有机种植，按农业部的条规，果园需要经过长达2年时间的检验才能获得有机认证。由于有机榴莲不能使用化学农药，加上有机肥料成本高，收成较不稳定等，需要更多心思去照料，还不包括风吹树倒的风险等，这也导致有机榴莲价格不稳的因素。
