  Description

  Hey there 👋🏼 I'm Phil, 55, retired engineer along with my partner acquired this 20 acre farm in South India in 2018, which is certified organic and has a unique geography. The farm features around 1600 fruit trees, including coconut palms, mangoes, and gooseberries, all 5-8 years old and bearing fruit.
  
  We practice no-till farming and soil regeneration, and have established around 2500-3000 meters of mulched, raised beds. We’re also conducting trials with various vegetables and crops.
  
  Currently we have in house 6 workers in the farm which includes two families, who are helping in part of construction, farming and cooking. Separate workers accommodation is maintained with a big kitchen and mess facilities.
  
  We aspire to build a holistic farming community while running an R&D facility for community development.
