Description
I am a Filmmaker by profession, and I bought this farm in 2021. I knew nothing about farming; however, over the last 4 years, we have learnt a little through experiences on the farm and also by attending many workshops on other farms.
We are artists, and we are inclined to blend art practices with natural farming methods. It's been a slow process, but quite an experience so far.
Over the next few years, we intend to make this farm self-sustainable. Grow natural food, which would be enough for all the residents and visitors at the farm. Have workshops and residencies for artists.
At the farm, we have a family of two, husband and wife, who take care of the farm. They tend to the animals and also all the farming needs. The lady cooks as well. However, we are also connected to many other daily helpers who occasionally visit us based on the requirement.
NO DRINKING AND NO SMOKING AT THE FARM. Social drinking occasionally, if it's a must, but not as a daily habit. No smoking up, drugs, etc. Weed is not allowed either.

Help
A Workawayer who is interested in natural farming methods, who comes with prior knowledge or wants to research, learn, and try it out at the farm. And if you can get into the soil and get dirt on the hands, do things, nothing like it ☺️
If you know how to build a NATURAL POOL, doors are wide open :-)

Accommodation
We have a room with a bath n a toilet. This is what will be offered. This is on the first floor. We also have lots of tents and bedding.
At times, we will have a cook available who will cook in the farm kitchen. And if on a certain occasion, for a reason, the cook isn't available, the kitchen is open for use. The volunteers could use the kitchen and the supplies
What else ...
There is a walking path to the dam, 1km away. Can explore the village, go to Mysore city (50 mins away) many buses are available from the village. Many more things to do and explore.

Space for parking camper vans
There is enough land space to park and pitch if you want to.
Can possibly accept pets
I have 3 dogs and 3 cats, and one cow. As long as your pet and our pet find a way to get along, we have no problems. Since labourers are walking in and out most of the time, we will have to keep them on a leash during working hours or in a kennel. Pets are not allowed INSIDE living areas and inside the homes.
How many Workawayers can stay?
More than two
