Zone A
Native Forest
Thirty-eight percent of the estate is left alone. It holds the water table, shades the orchard edge and feeds the birds that keep our pest pressure low.
The Farm
Seven working units, one soil
Forest, orchard, field, dairy, mushroom, glasshouse and water — each unit feeds the next, and all of them feed the kitchen.
Farm Units
What happens where
Every unit runs on a published calendar. Guests and chefs can watch, walk in, or order against it.
Zone A
Orchards
Mango, guava, jackfruit, lime, papaya, coconut and trial rows of avocado and dragon fruit — drip irrigated, mulched, hand-picked.
Field Blocks
Field Agriculture
Rice, wheat, pulses and millets in kharif and rabi rotation, with green manure between cycles.
Zone D
Dairy
An eighteen-head Gir herd on estate fodder. Milk moves from parlour to churn house in under an hour.
Zone D
Mushroom House
Oyster, milky and button flushes in climate-controlled rooms on pasteurised estate straw.
Zone C
Greenhouse & Polyhouse
Salad leaves, herbs, cherry tomato, capsicum and cucumber cut to order for the kitchen and for chefs.
Zone B
Water Bodies
A reservoir, two ponds and a network of recharge pits. Every roof and road drains back into the ground.

Practice
Low input, long memory
No calendar spraying, no bare soil, no monoculture blocks. Compost from the dairy, mulch from the orchard floor, and rotation planned three seasons ahead.
— Compost and slurry from the dairy return to every block
— Mulched orchard floors; cover crops between field cycles
— Drip and micro-sprinkler across 100% of irrigated area
— Bird perches and hedgerows instead of routine pesticide
— Estate lab checks on milk, water and soil each month
