This is a Hare Krishna farm experience and is centred around caring for our cows and enjoying quite a social atmosphere. You’ll spend meaningful time with the animals, learning about ethical dairy farming while helping with milking and general cow care. You’ll also get involved in gardening, cooking, cleaning and general farm tasks. It’s rewarding and a wonderful opportunity to connect with animals, learn practical skills and become part of our farm community.
We milk at 6:30am and 3pm, both for around 2 hours. The other work and activities take place between 10:30am and 1:30pm, which is also when lunch is served hot. During this middle section of the day, you will be spending time cleaning the cows beds, as well as gardening, cooking, cleaning and general farm work. After the afternoon milking, everyone is free to relax and socialise.
Ahimsa is a strictly vegetarian farm and community. We ask everyone to respect our way of life and follow these rules throughout their stay. Meat, fish, eggs and store-bought dairy are not permitted. Vegan diets are welcome. Alcohol, recreational drugs, smoking and vaping are also not permitted. We maintain high standards of cleanliness and hygiene and expect everyone to respect the shared spaces, our cows, the farm and other members of the community.
