About Us
We are a vibrant Australian-Indian family in our mid-30s, living in the breathtaking mountains of Wayanad in Kerala, South India. Our home is nestled on 1.60 acres of serene land, surrounded by national parks, waterfalls, and lush forests. With our four wonderful, homeschooled children and two loving dogs, we are creating a self-sustaining paradise that aligns with nature’s wisdom.
As passionate herbalists, yoga, and wellness teachers, our mission is to inspire people to embrace a regenerative lifestyle, self-healing, and holistic well-being. We are in the exciting process of transforming our land into a thriving food forest using permaculture and syntropic agroforestry principles, fostering biodiversity, sustainability, and abundance.
Our Vision & Project
We are developing a space that is more than just a farm—it’s a sanctuary for learning, growing, and connecting with nature. Our goal is to create a thriving ecosystem that nurtures both the land and the people who live on it. From growing organic food and medicinal herbs to sustainable living practices, we are building a lifestyle that harmonizes with the earth.
Volunteer with Us
We warmly welcome volunteers who are eager to immerse themselves in a natural, regenerative way of living. Here’s what you can expect:
- Helping in the food forest—planting, mulching, composting, and regenerating the land
- Assisting in the kitchen—cooking wholesome meals and learning about herbal nutrition
- Engaging with our children—sharing skills, storytelling, music, art, or any creative activity that inspires them
- Learning about permaculture, herbalism, wellness practices, and yoga
- Living close to nature, exploring waterfalls, forests, and experiencing the beauty of Wayanad
What We Offer
In return, we offer a unique experience of living in harmony with nature, nourishing meals, knowledge-sharing, and a space for deep connection and growth. Our home is a place for meaningful conversations, shared experiences, and lasting memories.
If you’re passionate about sustainability, self-sufficiency, and holistic living, we would love to welcome you to our little paradise. Let’s learn, grow, and thrive together!
