    Description

    Hello to volunteers planning to come!


    The project is an upcoming organic farm, a creative platform for learning by experience, a center for ecological awareness, and a space for cherishing Mother Earth. It is an attempt to demonstrate sustainable living in practice, to develop a way of growing food with a combination of ecological understanding and indigenous knowledge, and to bring people together for an exchange of ideas and practices that ensure sustainability and well-being.
    We believe in a holistic mode of learning that promotes understanding and cherishing our place as a part of the greater Earth Community of soil, water, air, plants, animals, forests, and all life forms and peoples.

    Only to be in nature helps in getting new ideas, to go out of stress, unwanted emotions and heal mind and body in a natural way.

    We love to see new smiling faces at the farm and everyone interested in farming, living off-grid and community based is more than welcome here. We thank you for your cooperation in helping us make the farm the lovely place that it is.

    Volunteers Contribution.

    The contribution given by volunteer is 5$ per night. We prefer that everyone who is coming to farm, at-least stay for a month. So that it will be beneficial for both sides. If one month is not possible minimum stay is 3 weeks.


    Daily visitors or group tour will be charged per decision of Farm Steward by day of interesting, contribution depends about reason of coming.

    LOCATION: The farm is about four kilometers away from the nearest road head in Dogaon, a small settlement with a few roadside shops and tea-stalls, located on the Haldwani-Nainital road. Our nearest rail head is Kathgodam and Haldwani is our nearest city, 15 km away.


    With love & hugs from all of us, hope to see you here soon!

    Dear volunteers, our project is looking for long time volunteers (4-6 months). If you meet the daily requirements of farm we are more than happy to give you free stay which includes food and accommodation. Interested people feel free to contact.

    Farm was not active for almost one year.

    And we are giving our best to this place to create a small heaven here. And to make it happen we need volunteers. Looking forward to meet you wonderful souls soon.

    Announcement: We are welcoming long term volunteers. To do couple of projects on natural building. Though everyone is most welcome.

    ONGOING PROJECT : Bringing mulch, composting small fruit plants which we planted last year, watering, seeding.


    Happy to announce we finished our 2nd Permaculture Design Course. And now we are ready implement Permaculture principles on our land. Help from volunteer is much needed as it will be lot of physical work like doing Earth works in farm which includes making trenches, water harvesting by making ponds and channels at correct place. Volunteers who have done PDC are most welcome to do some practical work on our farm. It will benefit both farm and you.


    Each volunteer is welcome to choose work that suits their skills and interests as long as the work is of benefit to the farm.Farm steward will decide which work is priority on farm that moment.

    Farm related chores include weeding, planting, taking care of plants, preparing compost, watering, spreading compost, mulching, trench digging for water management,digging, making small gardens with healing herbs,collecting wood and pine cone and much more! We also have a lot of tasks around the living area that can be done. We are taking care of fire protection around farm like making fire lines and collecting pine cones.

    We work hard but the work comes from our hearts and enjoy the effort.

    We would like every volunteer bring a plant or seeds as their blueprint on farm for long time.
    ( volunteer choice )

    Every volunteer should cook on farm, we are cooking on open fire with wood, also simple food,
    so volunteers can experience that type of cooking, especially Indian food and at the same time to be creative.

    We would like volunteers have practice speak with tress and plants, or they can learn this here on farm.

    Volunteers should follow daily tasks as cooking, cleaning, taking care of there room, kitchen, hall and most importantly toilet after their use.
