    Help

    We need help to handle the farm produce. Post harvest processing of some of the produce involves cleaning, sorting, slicing, juicing, sundrying the different types of fruits and spices that grow on our land. De-weeding and sprucing up the farm and kitchen garden, tending to the pepper vines, spraying organic plant elixirs, raking dry leaves, picking up fallen nuts are some of the tasks that we need help with.
