The experience

We are a couple who left behind the hustle and bustle of city life to build a self-sufficient homestead in a peaceful village along the Western Ghats of India. Together with friends and family, we are creating a permaculture-inspired farm that values sustainability, community, and harmony with nature. 🌿

This is more than volunteering — it’s a chance to immerse yourself in rural culture and learn practical skills🌄

Program Details

We began working on our land in March 2022. Over the past 3 years, we have established:

✅ A reliable water system and drip irrigation
🌳 Tree plantations across the land
🏡 Facilities for volunteers and visitors
🌱 An agro-tourism setup to share our way of life


Now, we’re looking for volunteers to help us:

Maintain and improve existing systems
Plant and manage vegetable fields
Harvest and process fruits, grains, pulses, and vegetables
Support soil and water conservation (building bunds, check dams, etc.)
Develop eco-tourism initiatives like setting up camp sites
Build and plant live fencing around the farm

This is a fantastic opportunity for anyone interested in sustainable farming, gardening, ecological living 🌍 and experience the joy of slow living while surrounded by breathtaking landscapes. 🌄
