Our organic farm

From living soil.
To shared tables.

Tropical fruit trees, vegetables and herbs nourish our community and demonstrate a gentler way to work with the land.

A diverse, productive landscape

More than an orchard.
A living classroom.

Our farm grows more than 40 varieties of fruit trees, alongside seasonal vegetables and herbs. Coconuts, bananas, pineapples, star fruit and mulberries are among our most productive crops.

In 2010, two new ponds were dug and more than 400 fruit and nut trees were planted. A further 200 fruit trees have been planted since then. We continue to develop organic methods informed by permaculture and P. R. Sarkar’s Ideal Farming approach.

So much growing.
So much to learn.

Our orchards and gardens bring together a rich variety of fruit trees, vegetables, herbs and other plants. Each contributes to the life of the farm.
