Sattva Organic Farm was born in 2010 as part of Sattva’s vision and Anand’s vision to be sustainable. We believe, as our guruji Maharaji told us, that we have to be sustainable. So if we are interested in sustainability, one thing is to be involved in food production, growing our own food.
The village where we established the Sattva Organic Farm is where the ancestors of Anand’s mother were a long time ago, in the mountains near Neelkanth. We have been able to work close with villagers and show them how to farm in a different way, the organic way that was used in the olden times before the commercial methods.
