Descripción
We are a family living at our farm/food forest. Our farm is filled with weeds, insects, birds living in a perfect symbiosis amidst a guava orchid of 3 acres. It is located in the agriculture belt of Tamilnadu, SouthIndia(18kms from Auroville and Pondicherry). we decided to quit our conventional jobs in the city to pursue our shared dream of settling down in a village and being self sustainable.
We follow the principles of Masanobu Fukuoka's Do Nothing Farming. The birds visiting our farm sing their songs while they sow their seeds, the wild rabbits hop happily and dig burrows to fix nitrogen to the soil while the bees pollinate the flowers and give us abundance of fruits. Nature is in perfect balance and laying in her lap without disturbing her is the perfect solution to today's complex problems. We focus on understanding natures beautiful design patterns and working along with it in perfect harmony.
Our Daily routines include Beekeeping, Mulching, grazing goats, raising free range chickens and mimicking the forest principles. We also make Guava Jams, Soothing Green Teas and Herbal powders.
For the past 8 years we havent ploughed our land and we respect the rules of no-till permaculture. so there are many medicinal weeds growing here. You could also know about the weeds with Manga. She is a medical practicioner and is constantly researching on medicinal plants and weeds.
Apart from farming there are plenty of other activities like Natural Building, Bicycling to the nearest Quarry, educating the village kids during their evening class and visiting the nearby Pondicherry and Auroville.
