Staying at the farm is not for everyone. Vrindavan Farm carries a sense of raw. While the house is comfortable with most modern ammenities, it is very much on a farm that is being nurtured to express it's wild.
The land grounds, silences, and heals. It allows you to slow down, connect with yourself, those around you, the food, the forest. The land hosts a diversity of fruiting trees in the summer, fields coloured with salads in the winter, the bright green of paddy in the monsoon. We are primarily a farming community, not trained in hospitality; What we share is genuine.
Stay: The sustainably built farm house* is a 2-bedroom family home built by The Vrindavan Project. It carries a flow connecting the interiors and it's surrounding. Each room has an indoor and outdoor bath. The house sits beside a lawn, gazebo, and a pool. The pool mimics traditional step wells. It is lined with marble that retains a dark colour. Unchlorinated, the water is alive.
* The images were taken about 4 years ago.
Food: Our meals are nutritious, simple and home (organically) grown or sourced locally. Key staples like cooking oil, rice, turmeric - are all homegrown. Milk is from surrounding farmers, who still graze their buffaloes freely and live with the bovines as family.
Ammenities: We do not have television or wifi! We have plenty of friendly dogs, cows, trees, and humans you could interact with.
Coverage: Connectivity is great for Jio, somewhat for Airtel, almost nonexistant for Vodafone.
Games: Carrom, badminton
Activities: Farm tour/ forest walk/ river walk/ farming
You: The farm is perfect for those
- who wish to immerse in timlessness, in nature, read a book or dig in the dirt;
- for families with kids;
- for artists, writers, musicians.
It's not perfect for bringing in your 21st birthday and the likes.
