A Day Out at a Food Forest Farm

About the experience

As the week drones on and you spend more time looking at faces through a screen than in person, don’t you ever just feel like trading in the towering skyscrapers and paved sidewalks for green woods and freshly cut grass that tickles your toes as you stroll across, even for just one day? Well, if that’s the case, then check out this lush food forest farm.  Nestled away amongst the greenery, the farm is surrounded by lush green hills and towering hills. Enjoy the serene silence that envelopes the property.  

The farm is located just an hour and a half from Chennai, and about twice that from Bangalore and makes for a great escape from the dull routines of city life. The farm serves as a man-made food forest, with a wide range of fruits and vegetables available for harvest. Enjoy a delightful day out at a countryside farm with exotic and organically grown natural food. You can experience what a regular day on a farm is like and interact with the locals to get a sense of what walking in their shoes feels like. 

The farm also has a wide variety of livestock living within, so watch the hens flutter around their coops or the cattle lazily chewing on the fields of grass. All two, as well as four-legged pals, are welcome at the farm so let your furry friends tag along for the day. There are tons of farming activities you can try your hand at like rearing sheep or picking out your own fresh produce. 

The farm also gives you the opportunity to give back to the rural community here, by indulging in some paid activities like folk dances and pottery classes that are conducted by the locals. The money goes into supporting the local farmers and promoting the rural economy. The farm also offers a wide range of goodies that have been produced right here on the fields, such as rich honey, coconut oil, and much more.  

If you’re looking to teach the young ones in the family about the importance of farming, or even if you’re just trying to learn a few things for yourself, this farm is definitely worth the visit.
