Description
We are a 13-acre organic, permaculture farm. This is a family owned farm in a small picture-perfect village about 3 hours from the city of Chennai in south of India. We run a Farmstay for people to stay and experience the beauty of village and farm life. We have built a comfortable, compact space in the middle of the farm, surrounded by rich greenery, for workawayers to stay. We have lots of farm animals and you will love interacting with them.

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
You get to stay in a remote village with lovely people. Its a wonderful way to experience rural life in the interior of Tamilnadu. It's a good way to savor the local cuisine and experience local village culture. Since the farm is located in a quiet place away from all the hustle and bustle of city life, its a good place to unplug and recharge.

Accommodation
You will be staying in a beautiful room in the middle of the farm. You will have great views of the greenery. Your neighbours will be ducks and turkeys and they are awesome to have around. The natural pool I just a minute's walk from the room. Great for taking a refreshing dip. We prepare delicious vegetarian, homemade food from vegetables and greens grown at the farm.
What else ...
The evenings are a wonderful time at the farm. At nights, you can actually see the stars something we don't get to see in the cities. There are nice temples nearby. There's event a 8th century fort about half hour drive from the farm. You also have the beautiful city of Pondicherry which is about an hour's drive from the farm.
