What does Chiguru Farm offer under the banner of Agri-tourism? How is it different from a resort or a home-stay? Just trying to provide some clarity, although it is difficult to explain what you should experience yourself.
- Set in a fully functional, live farm, where you have the option to participate in the farm activities yourself.
- Experiential travel so that it remains etched in your memory for a very long time. It is not just another sight-seeing place. Chilling out is redefined here!
- Sustainable living as a top priority.
- Retained as natural as possible.
- Minimally manicured with basic comforts in mind.
- Minimally sanitized from insects and other live things with basic comforts in mind again. Still having the options to keenly observe the nature's curios like plants & trees, animals & birds, honeybees & wasps, butterflies & moths, ants & spiders and other insects. Also understand their importance in the ecosystem and how they help us in growing our food.
- Wander around (or laze around!) at your own pace, relaxing and enjoying the fresh air from the surrounding greenery.
- A place to slow down your life.
- Pluck and taste the seasonal fruits, vegetables, etc.
- Experience farm-fresh food.
- Feed the farm animals with your own hands.
- Get to know where your food comes from and what it takes to grow it.
- Interact with the farm labors and local villagers to get first-hand information on farming and rural life.
- Improve your knowledge on things like "how many bunches does a banana plant give", "importance of desi cows", "how to control pests without using chemicals", "what is the impact of chemicals on your health", etc.
Some of the above may be possible in a resort or a home-stay, but not ALL of them!!!
