Description
This is an organic plantation in Coorg 10 km from Madikeri towards South on the Virajpet road. I moved back about 4 years ago from an art and design background. The creative work was nice but the city got to me and I always wanted to come back to the place I grew up in as a child. It was a paradise I wanted to get Back to Since I was a kid. I Started working organic methods 3 years ago and things are slowly working out. Apart from the main coffee and pepper, I've started cardamom, vanilla, cocoa, avocados, bananas and some other spices and fruits in a smaller scale. If I'm not able to market my fruits I try and value add by Sun drying, jams etc.
I have a little work shop set up as well where I make things for the farm, some art and some experimental musical instruments as a hobby and to keep occupied in a country side.
