Description
We are a retired couple, Prayag and Bharti in our early 60s who live in a city called Lucknow which has a very significant historical importance in India. We have strong connection to our roots through some farming in our nearby villages.
Located 60 kms from our house in Lucknow towards Sitapur is our fully furnished farm house where we grow organic crops and produce milk for our own usage. Away from the city, the farm provides a perfect getaway whenever we are looking for peace and tranquility.
On a hot day, after working at the farm, a dip in the tube well reservoir is so refreshing that no air conditioning in the city can provide.
We are looking for general help at the farm with activities like weeding, irrigating and composting.
If you have any expertise in the above skills or are still learning we would love to gain some knowledge and share our farm with you.
Otherwise our farm is also open to people who just want to experience the nature, breathe fresh air and share your life stories with us.
If you would like we can also take you to Lucknow and surrounding areas for sightseeing. If you have a legal driving license then we can also provide some form of commuting.
You can use the kitchen for cooking and the ration will be provided. The food can also be arranged from a near by restaurant.
If you have any interest in teaching younger kids any subjects or even just share life stories then there is a nearby school run by one of our relatives where you can visit and teach.

I have always been an enthusiast about languages and their origin. Living in Uttar Pradesh and Uttarakhand for most of my lifetime, I have been exposed to local languages and the ones spoken in border states and countries. Some of our families live in Canada and we would love to practice English or learn French from you.

I was free to do the work assigned to me. My accommodation on the upper floor was great. The homemade food with vegetables from our own cultivation was super tasty and rich.
I felt very comfortable. And I will gladly come back again if I am in Locknow.
Thank you very much!
The description of the farm and our living space was accurate. It was fairy comfortable and we got to have fresh veggies from the farm often!
We both thoroughly enjoyed our stay and experience at the farmhouse and recommend it!
