Descrição
Current tasks in winter ( December to February 2025): Heavily mulching all trees, planting vetiver gras around all trees and on all bunds, preparing nurseries for vegetables and bamboo, taking care of vegetables gardens, small carpentry work, increasing rainwater harvesting pond's height, wall painting with traditional designs for rooms.
We are a homestead aiming for self sufficiency. We are married partners (Madhu and Sampada) who have moved away from the hustle bustle of city life to this quite village along the western Ghats of India. We are with the help of friends and family, trying to build a permaculture farm which will be self sustainable.
Though both of us are Engineers by educational qualifications, we moved away from our core filed of study and worked in the sector of education for children coming from less privileged background for more than 15 years. We continue to teach and try to create a welcoming and open learning space with the kids in the village. As we explored various aspects of life, living on a farm is something that stayed with both of us and hence we dived all in. We are conscious and thoughtful of background of people around us and try our best to not judge or put you in any brackets. We are not religious but big fan of Kabir songs and bhajans (Bhakthi poetry). We look forward to the music and movie recommendations from anyone who visit us. We also look forward to learn, cook and exchange recipes with all our visitors. Come prepared with a playlist and a unique recipe that represents the place you come from. We are LGBTQ+ friendly, look forward to challenge existing social, ecological and economic power structures through the lives we lead.

Oportunidades de intercâmbio cultural e aprendizado
We live in small traditional village based in Western Maharashtra, a state of India. It is a coastal belt. Volunteers will be able to interact with the villagers and explore traditional Konkani cuisine, local fish, forage wild seasonal food, experience traditional form of devotional hymns (bhajans). Volunteers can learn a lot about the basics of practicality of permaculture and experience living in a serene environment.

You will be cooking and eating with us in our house.
Algo mais...
The place we have is very scenic with a flowing stream on one side and hills on the other side. Helpers can simply sit by the river and have a lovely time. The place is also very rich in biodiversity and an excellent place for bird watching, identifying butterflies and insects. You may go for a nice stroll or a jog. Travellers may also be able to visit the nearby beaches (40 kms from our place). There is also an old fort (dilapidated condition) but an excellent example of water harvesting and full of natural beauty which can also be explored.
There are local buses available to go to the nearby town.
We are trying to live a simple life here with as much as possible being a conscious consumer. Food available will be mostly local. We do not encourage any kind of packaged food items.
We provide 3 meals everyday (breakfast, lunch and dinner) along with evening tea. We would love if workawayers can cook something from their place and culture for a day or so for us. We would encourage you to adjust your cooking with things available in the house or local markets and completely avoid using pre packaged food items like biscuits and things like that.
We have a separate space for volunteers stay. Common areas for dining and fun are in front of our house and upstairs on terrace and hence would appreciate you all to be mindful of the space and timing. Entry inside our house will be limited and as much as possible common areas (especially the verandah space in front of house) maybe left free post 10 pm.
