Hands-On Sustainable Farming Workshops & Farm Tours
Forget theory-heavy lectures. Join us at our partner farms to get your hands in the dirt, learn traditional techniques like mulching, and reconnect with the soil.
Our organic farming workshops are packed with practical knowledge. This schedule shows a typical day with us, covering everything from crop techniques and pest control to a farm tour and networking with fellow nature lovers.
Why do we use coconut shells for mulching? In this clip from a workshop, I explain how this eco-friendly method helps retain soil moisture, prevent weeds, and avoid the microplastics that come from plastic sheets.
There's a unique joy in planting your own food. Here, my wife Priya shares her first-hand experience digging in and planting tomato saplings during one of our farm sessions. We believe everyone should experience this at least once.
It's all about teamwork and community. Our farm events bring people together to work the land, share knowledge, and connect with nature. Small hands and big hearts can create endless fields of green.
Ready to get your hands dirty? We often have volunteer days at our partner farms. It's a great opportunity to experience farm life, learn about sustainable agriculture, and become part of our growing community.
A day of learning and farming often ends with good vibes around a bonfire. This is part of the complete experience we offer. We also provide expert solutions for farm infrastructure, like borewell digging, to ensure a reliable water supply.
About this collection
These aren't sit-down lectures. When you join us at a partner farm, you’ll be doing the actual work: digging, sowing, setting up irrigation, or learning the science behind using coconut shells for mulching. We keep our groups small so everyone gets a chance to ask questions about the soil, the pests, or even how to manage your own home garden setup. If you've ever wanted to understand why a plant dies or how a farm truly thrives, come spend time in the mud with us.
Learn by Doing, Not Just Watching
Whether you have a terrace garden in Bengaluru or you're dreaming of starting a small farm, theory only takes you so far. We believe the best way to learn is by making mistakes—just like we did when we started. Our workshops are designed to skip the guesswork.
What You’ll Actually Learn
- Sustainable Techniques: We don't use plastic sheets for mulching. We'll show you how to use coconut shells, wood husk, and dry leaves to retain moisture and build soil health. It’s practical, low-cost, and eco-friendly.
- The Basics of Farming: From digging your first patch to installing drip irrigation systems, you’ll learn the physical labor involved. We break down the "myth" of high-maintenance farming.
- Troubleshooting: Bring your plant problems. Whether it's a balcony pest issue, a fungal infection, or pollination troubles, we’ll look at real-life examples and show you how to fix them organically.
Why Join Us?
These sessions are immersive. We aren't just teaching you how to grow plants; we're teaching you how to be a custodian of the land. Our weekend retreats often include camping, bonfires, and farm-to-table vegetarian meals. It’s a chance to meet fellow nature lovers, share stories, and learn from a community that believes no space should be left barren. No matter if you're a complete beginner or an urban gardener looking to scale up, there's always something new to learn when you put your hands in the soil. Let’s get growing together.

Nakul and Priya here. We left our corporate lives because we found more meaning in soil than spreadsheets. We started by killing many plants ourselves, and now we want to share that journey so you don't have to make the same mistakes.
