Highly recommend this project! I had an amazing time volunteering at the farm with host Sourav. He's super welcoming, supportive, and always happy to teach you about farm life and sustainable living. The place is in a beautiful natural environment. Very peaceful, green, and perfect to disconnect and recharge. Food was awesome — fresh, home-cooked meals every day. Stay was very comfortable and clean. Felt like home. What makes this place special is that agriculture, natural environment, and energy units are all together in one place. You get real hands-on experience here

I had a great time at the farm. We came in an extremely hot time of the year so we needed to wake up early and start work before the heat. The tasks were not too strenuous and I enjoyed them a lot. This farm relies quite a bit on volunteers—the host, Saurabh, is a very kind and genuine person and could use some extra hands. I especially loved living with the cows. They are so sweet and gentle. Overall an amazing experience.

I had a really nice time volunteering on this farm. The project is meaningful and Saurabh's ambitions and mindset are very inspiring. It's a great place to disconnect from busy Indian cities and enjoy a simpler lifestyle, back to the basics : working, eating rice and Dahl, having fun with the cows and giving rest and energy to your body. It's to come with the right expectations : it's a true farming daily life in an Indian village, with roots acomodarion and facilities. I enjoyed slowing down, doing meditation, and meeting the very nice kids of the village. A simple and genuine experience tha

Volunteered here with my 15 year old daughter. It's a small farm with plans to build mud house, vegetable patch and cow sheds. All of this is yet to be ready so we spent most of our time decorating the bamboo shed used for living. The area is very beautiful so we walked around in the evening enjoying the lovely weather and fresh air. It was a good break from the city life for us and we loved the time spent together.
