Description
Hi! I'm a first generation farmer experimenting with agriculture and vegetables farming. Advocate of slow, international and deep Living.
Me and my dad want to be first residents of an eco village near the foothills of Western ghats near Tenkasi... It's a perfect place to unwind, eat healthy and for mindfulness. We want to build an earth construction home & studio here with creative expressions. I get my inspiration from Auroville as Pondicherry is my hometown.
I work with traditional, native, heirloom and self pollinating seeds only, of course organic. So here are the quick tasks i would appreciate help
1. Construct Earth structure for a home, a studio, a kitchen with an over/rocket stove
2. Farming activities
I'm sure it's engaging and it's gonna be a different learning experience with so much creativity, laughter, learnings and satisfaction. I'm sincere and a honest person trying to live a simple slow life. -

Knowledge about traditional and heirloom varieties is also need of the hour for our lands. A slow farming experience can be life changing indeed. It happened to me when i volunteered. The more earth constructions we do the better we get at it
