Activities & Shift

At present, we are at the early second stage of building our community farm and house. We need financial & physical supporters mainly to clean the land and help in constructing the house and road, grow vegetables and other crops while maintaining cloves and pepper. The volunteers can help us gardening, teaching school students, building a farm house and other small construction like cowshed, bio gas system, etc. Mainly they can share knowledge making organic fertilizers, and other biopesticide etc. 3 hours per day are allocated for these field activities. In addition to that, those volunteers can choose a wide range of activities like music, art, painting, gardening, computer skills, shopping, cleaning, washing, swimming, and sightseeing during the afternoon & weekends. Volunteers who prefer to attend with children and help in construction will be placed in the particular projects.

Rules

We are looking for any volunteers who prefer to engage in physical labour or ‘dirtying’ their hands and knees going beyond their dignity and self-image to take a shovel or a broom to scrap and help and share their knowledge and skills for the above work. This does not mean that we expect hard work from volunteers. They are expected to be highly flexible and adaptable for local customs. So, you'll experience the fullest. If you are motivated person or a group or a family who are willing to volunteer with the right spirit, correct attitude, and essential sense of humour, then this spiritual farm will be suiting to gain experiences for you. Maybe you could add some of your own tried and tested remedies – to fill in the blanks. If you are new to farming or above work and to our community, we feel that some purpose may be served. One learns about us only by participating in farm activities.
