மன்னுயிர் · Mannuyir

When the soil is alive, everything on it lives well.

மண் உயிரோடு இருந்தால், அதன் மேல் உள்ள அனைத்தும் நலமாக வாழும்.

A 30-acre integrated farm in , Tamil Nadu, where nothing is wasted and the soil grows richer every year. Come and see how farming should work.

சுழற்சி · The cycle

Every part feeds the next.

Our cattle, goats and hens give manure. The manure becomes biogas that powers the farm. What remains returns to the fields as rich, living soil. The soil grows fodder. The fodder is stored as silage and feeds the animals again.

One complete circle, every day.

Questions

Before you visit.

Can we just drop in?

No. Visits are by booking only, so we can keep groups small and the animals calm.

Is it safe for small children?

Yes, with an adult beside them near the animals. Our team guides every group.

Is the farm organic?

We follow natural farming practices: our fertiliser comes from our own animals and biogas plant.

What should we wear?

Comfortable shoes that can get muddy, a cap, and light cotton clothes.
