The land of our farm has hectars. There are a various of plants you can find
on our land: Nutmeg, Coconut, pepper and ginger. We try to protect the environment as
much as possible by not using peticides and chemicals. Edible waste is given as the feed
for the animals. We produce biogas (Methane) from the waste and cow dung and get
sufficient fuel for our cooking purposes.
The plants and trees grow intermingled, the way they used to grow a hundred years
ago. The presence of numerous birds, spiders and butterflies ist a clear evidence to thepollution free soil and atmosphere.
Our goal is to create a self-sustaining village, needing as less support from outside as possible. For this our plans for the near future are:
- Build a vermin compost unit to recycle inedible organic waste
- Set up a solar panel for water heaters.
- Setting up of a vegetable garden
- Creation of an area with different ayurvedic
- Home-made honey production
