Description
Greetings! By profession I am a Network Architect. By passion, a musician and an organic farmer.
I cultivate an eco farm and as well operate a farm stay. This is a peaceful environment away from civilization, about 25 minutes walk. The nearest village is 2 kms away.
It's an integrated farm cultivated with Avocados, jack fruit, native bananas, guavas, passion fruits, beans, strawberries and herbals coexisting with chicken, ducks and fishes.Types of help and learning opportunities

As well, exposure to cook native recipes and growing own vegetables for consumption.
Every now and then one can escape to Kodaikanal town or Vattakanal which is a major tourist attraction, filled with lots of events.
Nearby village, Thandikudi is a heritage site, for those who would like to explore archaeological remains.Help
This is a great place for those who are interested in organic farming, landscaping and eco-sustainable living and as well to join the events (mostly full moon music jamming and holiday camps/workshops).
