Description
My name is Eugen, I'm a single person and farming is my passion.. I farm fruits and vegetables in my ancestral farm property. I grow fruits and vegetables using" natural farming practices" method. My main crops are Arecanut, coconut, Rambutan, cashew nut, black pepper, bananas and mangoes.. Also I grow pesticide free vegetables using natural compost and jeevamrutha.. I live in my farmhouse situated in the middle of my farm. A two bedroom with attached bath, hallroom, Dining area with kitchen. Our day at the farm starts with rising early with yoga and breathing exercises including Taichi..followed by liquid diet of herbal tea using farm herbs and medicinal plants and farm fresh salads. Harvesting begins to cater to the local producers market early forenoon.. Lunch is prepared using farm fresh produce on a community style basis.. Afternoon onwards irrigation and maintenence practices are followed for crop management.. The day ends with herbal tea and a discussion session to learn any creative inputs from the experiences of the day.. My farm volunteering option is platform to meet and learn from people of different region and continent and experience intercultural learning..
