Description
Welcome to Our Ancestral Farm in North Goa!
Nestled in the heart of North Goa, our ancestral farm is a work in progress as we revive the land and restore its natural balance. Our focus is on retaining organic farming practices in the traditional way, working with nature rather than against it.
We are currently improving soil health naturally and preparing to cultivate a vegetable garden and turmeric in the coming months. Looking ahead, we envision creating an Earth Corner—a farm-to-table space where fresh, seasonal produce from our land is turned into wholesome meals.
Life on the farm is shared with a lively family of six dogs, five cats, and three humans. Our extended family includes a variety of reptiles, birds, and even some visiting primates who remind us that we are only one part of this thriving ecosystem.
If you're passionate about sustainable farming, working with nature, and experiencing life in a biodiverse environment, we’d love to host you!
