  • Other specifics for farm We are primarily an Organic Amla orchard but also have lemon, mulberry and other trees for personal use. We have some cows on the farm their dung and urine is used for fertilizer and insecticide and pesticide and we have some bee’s that are used for pollination, but also produce wonderful honey. We are a totally organic farm using bio dynamics for sustainability. There are 10 people staying on the farm permanently, most of which are quite keen singers and dancers. We have accommodation within the farm house or you can choose to sleep on the second story terrace, if you wish. We have indoor bathrooms and running water. Our kitchen is modern and convenient. You may cook your own meals if you wish, we will provide basic ingredients, or the farm workers are more than happy to cook for you also. “Agriculture is a way of life – it is not an industry” I cannot dictate to you your working hours as people have varying skills and physical abilities. We have a good swimming pool and you can use this to cool off after a day of work. There are some bicycles on the farm which you can use to visit nearby villages. We have many varieties of birds on the farm and so as well as learning about organic farming I am pleased to be able to show you a little of the natural surrounding fauna. We are located 25 KM from Jaipur Rajasthan. We can arrange a pick up from Jaipur and will bring you here by car. Contact number in Jaipur is 0141-2223694 of Retired Brigadier A.P.
