Everything is happening for good.

Today feeling little bit happier.
I got the job which i thought. Now i can be a part time farmer. I can work in fields from early morning to 10 AM. And then i have a good job in a reputed company 12 noon to 8 PM. flexible time to work. By god's grace everything is happening Fine.

NOW IN FIELDS
_______________
Eucalyptus trees are chopped off.
Roots are sold, and the land will be levelled within 2 to 3 days.
2 months before it rained heavily. due to that our village storage lake has been filled.
And also the pathways are filled. due to that we would not able to install pipeline from my brothers borewell to my land.
Expecting that the water in the pathway will be drained before the end of january.

FUTURE PLANS
----------------------
Thinking of to build cob house in the farm whether the wattle and daub type or Adobe type.
Little bit confused whether to do MONO culture farming or to adapt MARKET GARDENS.
The land is about 80 cents. looking to make 180 raised beds which is 1M width and 10M length.
Like to follow permaculture (no till farming and organic) no usage of chemicals.
Looking to grow foods in organic way.

Aranya Eco Village an Organic farm near Anchetti forest.

     I come from a farming family near Bihar(raja rajnish kumar). I left my studies in Delhi in 2008 to broaden my horizons at the Shikshantar Institute in Udaipur. here I learned many things from film making to water conservation. I joined the Environmental Leadership Programme at Sadhana Forest in Auroville I learnt about vegan cooking, waste material with creating interesting cool things like wallet , building house, Permaculture design , Drip watering, eco toilets, land scape designing, English speaking and writing, 3 years later began to realise I wanted to be an organic farmer.

     Our Eco Village was established 3.5 years ago following the principles of permaculture design. It is a home to many animals from Buffalo to Chickens. Our main crop is millet, but we grow a variety of fruit and vegetables and have many Eco building projects to complete. Sustainability and working in harmony with nature and each other is at the core of everything we do.

    There is a close relationship between our project and another Organic farm which also welcomes volunteers. My family are all the creatures great and small on the farm. The mud house can house a large group or a family. Tents are also available, although volunteers may wish to bring their own. Blankets and some bedding can be provided but volunteers are asked to bring sheets. Meals will be provided following the local cuisine.

    The farm is situated near the Elephant reserve at Anchetti forest in the beautiful, indigenous forest, nearby is a quiet ashram. The Krishnagiri region has a museum, ancient forts and temples. Every year the Krishnagiri Dam and reservoir attract many tourists.

    Volunteers are welcome to be at home on the farm, be creative and be part of a community.
