    Description

    Hello everyone,
    We are developing a permaculture farm near Ranthambore Tiger Reserve. We are currently building a community space with mud which includes a hand sculpted cob house. We are working on building the mud structure with our own hands including doors, windows and other functionalities. We are also working on our kitchen garden with raised and sunken beds for veggies, a herb spiral and more.
    We are working on making the space self sufficient in terms of food, energy and waste management. We are also including passive solar design, both for the built and unbuilt spaces.
    The farm is in a village in Rajasthan with practically no public transport internally.

    We are looking for creative and hard working people who can contribute with the physical help at the farm. This includes building the mud structure with cobbing and helping with the plants. All ideas to help us achieve our regenerative goals at the farm are also welcome :)
    Everything on the farm is a work in progress right now so it would be better if the people like to work hands on.
    We also love to cook together and have fun while working.
    We appreciate people who contribute in managing the space and as we are working in close proximity to the local community, we expect people to keep in mind the culture of the place while staying here.
