Welcome to Green Roots Farm, where the birds
wake you up and the WiFi takes occasional naps.
We’re Rajesh, Nandita & Anaya. What began as an extension of our home has grown into a thriving organic farm, where mango, turmeric, moringa, and butterflypea flower plantations flourish. Every crop here is nurtured not just by us, but by the hands and hearts of the local village community. Together, we’re building a space that sustains the land and empowers the people who call it home.
Step into a space where comfort meets character, and every corner hides a story.
Our cottage houses three rooms: Mogra, Jaswant & Aparijat , along with a cozy common room, a mezzanine for kids, and a flight of stairs that doubles as their personal jungle gym. Think red brick walls and sloping clay tiled roofs paired with old-world wooden furniture. Add to that the vibrance of Athangudi tiles, cheerful block prints, traditional brassware, and repurposed treasures with a twist (yes, that Bijani is a candle stand).
Each room is designed with both style and ease in mind: a king-size bed, writing desk, air-conditioning, spacious changing room, luxe bath essentials, and a tea & coffee set-up. Whether you’re a family, a group of friends, or someone who simply loves to spread out—you’ll find the perfect fit here.
We like to think of meals here as edible storytelling. Maharashtrian Konkani, Malwani, Puneri… Sindhi Aloo Tuk and Sai Bhaji… Bengali Posto and Shorshe… TamBrahm Molagoottal and Avial… Gujarati Sev Tameta Nu Shak and Kadi. Recipes whispered down through generations, unearthed and served to you with passion and zero portion control
Meals here are a feast. Lunch, evening snacks, dinner, breakfast; you’ll be happily overfed. Vegetables are seasonal and freshly picked, milk comes from our cows and eggs from hens, (they’re quite generous by the way).

Here, “activity” is a loose word. It can mean moving a mountain. Or moving only from hammock to bed.
Listen to birds. Count cows or the ants that march through. Wander and lose yourself inside the mango orchards, rice fields, or village lanes. Forget pins and Google maps exist for a while.
Welcome to a farm where the soil’s alive, the crops are chemical-free, and community runs the show. Walk through fields of mango, moringa, haldi, and butterfly pea, and see food grown the way nature intended. The earth is fed with compost, soil revived with crop cycles, and pests kept in check with old-world know-how. Every plant grows to its own rhythm and we let it.
Roll up your sleeves: sow a seed, pluck herbs, plant a sapling, cut what's ripe, or peek into the vermicompost pit where earthworms turn scraps into black gold. Try your hand at the Vedic Bilona method, churning butter the traditional way, and taste ghee made by you. And when the work's done, cool off the village way with a dip in the our irrigation pond, a traditional pool of fresh, circulating water that keeps both crops and us refreshed.
This isn't just farming, it's a crash course in where food really comes from, why it tastes better when organic, and how growing together also grows community.
Meet the true citizens of Green Roots - our Gir cows, Lakshmi & Saraswati, Rhode Island Red hens, buzzing bee boxes, and a board of furry co-owners: Kaju, Bhola, Bahirav, Billa, Tukaram & Tuki,. Feed a cow, bathe a cow, scatter grain for the hens, collect their eggs or taste honey straight from the comb. Between wagging tails, purring laps and tails whacks you’ll find that here, farm life always goes better when animals lead the talks.
The Sahyadri hills have our back, quite literally. Rajesh will happily lead you on day treks, stream walks, and waterfall chases in the monsoon. Come winter, try night camping under a billion stars. Winter bonus: Split wood for the campfire.
Our pottery wheels spin, the kiln glows, and clay waits to take shape. Hand-build, throw, glaze, fire or just squish clay for the fun of it. Break things too, if that feels more therapeutic.
