Description
I like to work in the garden, and or the farm. I like to cook simple and nourishing meals. Yoga philosophy has shaped and influenced my lifestyle. It has taught me that we all have lot more things in common over the differences and helped me open my mind to learn new things and have a wider perspective on things. I have taught in a few yoga teacher training programs, when I lived in Europe(lived there for 5yrs). I moved back to India in July 2024. Now, I want to travel, help out as much as I can, and learn from different experiences and projects mostly related to farming in India.

I stayed at this place for a week. I worked a bit in the farm helping in removing the weeds, helped in the kitchen, helping with translation for the host in communicating with the other volunteers and in giving input for establishing a structure/schedule for volunteering. They have a beautiful farm with cows ,mixed trees, vegetables and various… read more

Raveesh has been of great help on our farm for the past couple months. He is our first workaway volunteer, and has helped to introduce new methods and ways of looking at the garden and the plants. His care, attention and commitment towards the wellbeing of the entire garden, as one interconnected ecosystem was inspiring to witness. It has helped… read more

Laissé par le workawayer () pour l'hôte (Join us in our organic farm ...)

I volunteered at the organic farm for slightly over two months.
I found the food and accommodation to be great, also being the only volunteer there I had a big space for myself. There was a team of ladies working in the kitchen and they catered to my dietary needs and were very caring and loving. Quite a significant portion of the meals are… read more prepared from the vegetables the farm produces.
Every morning I did my morning practices on the rooftop terrace, the sound of the variety of birds,and the view of the stars in the early morning is something really special to experience. The place is close to a town, but it's pretty quite there. There are a half a dozen dogs who are very playful. You could also help out in the cow shed, if that interests you, there are around 40 cows there, there is also a horse there. My work there was mostly to help out with the maintenance in the polyhouse and the outside vegetable garden area, I found it very overwhelming to take care of the things as I felt it was too much for me to handle it alone in the beginning. But, with time I could do it better and in a relaxed way.
There is production work of oil, jaggery, cosmetic products and snacks which also happens at the factory in the farm which is interesting to see or even participate in. There are full time residential employees and part-time employees who also work at the farm. It can be a bit challenging working with the locals, as they don't speak English or Hindi, but if you pick up a few words in Telugu, it's fun to interact and feel how warm and amazing they are. There are 4-5 kids who also live there with the families living there, they are really sweet and are more than happy to teach you the language there and learn some of your language.
I learnt a lot during my time there, related to farming, as it was my first time where I independently planned and managed things , for which I'm grateful to Vennela(the host) for giving me the opportunity and trusting and encouraging me with the work. She would also come to work in the farm very often, besides managing the activities of the huge 60+acre farm, it is quite admirable how she manages it. I had some great conversations with her, she is wonderful,sweet and a very friendly human being, and it is a pleasure to have met her. She was very approachable and helpful with the challenges I faced in the farm and also helped out in the my personal growth aswell. I however did feel a bit lonely at times because of the language barrier and the challenge of not being able to communicate with the locals, but it was also a nice to experience it, and spend some time being alone and learning about myself. There was a lot of free time I had there, and because of that I got time to do things which I had been postponing for a long time. In the evenings few people from nearby villages and one or two employees, volunteer, etc play volleyball, also Vennela plays there, I personally did not enjoy any of it because the games were too competitive and since I was new to that sport,I was mostly moved to corners of court where ball would not come and people would jump in front to let me not take most of the shots, I don't blame them, it's just one way of playing which was not for me, so I chose to practice learning flute or read a book instead.Overal a very learning experience for me, and the farm activities could seem to be a bit chaotic or unplanned at times because of lack of staff or other reasons, but having stayed there long enough I did see the intention for a change and with a couple of motivated volunteers, there is a great potential of transformation

Sincere, dedicated and very disciplined. If the task is explained to Raveesh once , be assured he up to it till it's complete.
He has previous experience in farming and growing nurseries and has a green thumb to make seeds sprout that would otherwise be difficult. He has made seed beds and transplanted many vegetables and trees- he also made a… read more
