Currently we have vegetable farms, Amla orchard, vermi composting lab, a mini-poultry, a butterfly garden, a dairy farm, a native nursery, and varied sustainability experiments. In collaboration with Swechha, one of the leading not-for-profits working on sustainability in India, we are developing a farm school, for people to learn various aspects of agriculture and sustainability, develop prototypes and practices, engage citizens at large with farming and future lifestyle. While you stay here, you can choose to stay in your mudhouse and listen to the birds chirping outside, or chose to walk around the farm amidst peacocks, parrots and kingfishers. You can spend time volunteering at the farm, lending a hand to whatever activity is going on that particular day - sowing, harvesting, composting, honey keeping, or just pulling out grass from our vegetable beds.
