Organic
Farming
Composting
Yards, where we compost coir pith, organic waste, garden waste
and other organic material to make our own compost. From the remnants
of waste from our kitchens and other sources we produce bio gas
for cooking purposes.
We
process cow dung and urine from indigenous breed of cows to derive
jeevamritham, panchagavya types of manure, which are then used
in the farm. Since Organic standards precisely define the requirements
that a farm or product should meet in order to be 'certified organic'
we are proud to announce that we have achieved that purpose. We
also produce organic manure from a concoction of cow dung slurry
mixed with groundnut and neem cakes.
Arrive

juice made from handpicked organic fruit from our own orchard
or sweet tender coconut water served in its shell.
