Farm Enthusiast for a Riverside Volunteer Stay in Karnataka 🏞️🐄
The experience
We have a Natural farm, and we have been operating it for the last 4 years. The farm is by the river. We try to grow vegetables, and we planted many fruit trees. They need watering, pruning, and deweeding. 🌱
We have a cow and few dogs and cats, need to be fed twice a day. Cow is optional, if the volunteer doesn't know how to take care of a cow, that's ok, we can get help from the locals. 🐈🐕🐄
