    Description

    We are a family of six - mom, dad, two teen girls, a playful puppy and a curious kitten along with countless plants, birds, butterflies, fishes and many more! We moved here from a big city about an year ago. We live in a stone house and have been trying to grow our own food on a small piece of 5-acre land. On the farm and in our daily lives, we avoid using any chemicals like pesticides etc.

    Some of the most alluring things about this place are the countless stars visible at night.
    In the midst of songs sung by the birds, we love the peace and quiet the nature has to offer. Having dinner knowing that every small part of it came from your own hard work - what can be a better feeling than that?

    We have got water bodies like dam, associated birds, wild life sanctuary and temples nearby. We are well connected to district places by road and railways.
