Humane Agrarian Centre is a self-sustainable place where one can learn farming along with history of farming which is extra-ordinary. We only read history of kings & rulers but here they have built a museum depicting history of farmers and farming.
This school is such an important place to come. Open minded in thinking, experimental still deeply rooted into natural farming, with idealistic thoughts how humans should live and always remain positive and on the road of happiness. How great would be such a place in my country.".
Surrounded by the lush green fields, chirping birds, hens and two dogs; farm is filled with life. The vegetable garden, cow shed, procession unit, mango orchard all within a few acres made perfect sense. The men & the women on the warm welcomed me warmly & encourages me to learn the daily chores that happens at the farm.
