How Brindavan Estates is run.
Our on-site team plans the plantation, plants it and looks after it all week: watering, weeding, pruning and
the harvest. The team uses natural farming with the farm's own microbial solutions and leaf extracts, and the
farm's fertilizers are made on site. You don't hire or supervise anyone, and you pay no maintenance fee. The
full process is on our how it works page, and the layers of the farm are on the food forest page.
What an owner gets.
You own the land, and Vriksha Farms looks after the farm. Our on-site team coordinates the day-to-day work:
attention to the soil, planting, irrigation, routine care, security and harvest activities. You stay involved in
what interests you, and the team handles the ongoing care. You pay no maintenance fee. Spend your visits getting
to know your land.
What grows here.
The proposed agroforestry approach brings together three planting layers. The first is seasonal crops: turmeric
and sweet potato, each with its own cycle of planting and harvest. The second is intercrops: banana and pepper,
which add variety to the farm. The third is longer-term trees, with tree planting that develops over the years
and gradually shapes the land and its canopy.
Planting depends on soil, water, season and site suitability. The layers of a food forest are explained on the food forest page.
A home of your own, if you want one.
You can choose an optional compact home built with compressed earth blocks, or explore a farmhouse designed
around your preferences. The home concept is around 400 sq ft, and the home and garden in our brochure
illustration cover around 2,400 sq ft. A shaded sit-out, a small gazebo, a garden swing and tropical planting
can make the outdoors personal.
The images are an artist's impression. Homes and landscaping are optional, and design, permissions,
specifications and costs are confirmed separately.
A day at Brindavan Estates.
Some visits are spent entirely on the farm: a walk without turning it into a workout, a shady spot, a long
dinner and, on a clear night, a look at the stars. Others take you further. Explore the wider countryside around
Kanakapura, or plan an outing towards Dabbaguli or Hogenakal. Check local access, seasonal conditions and any
required permissions before setting out.
Brindavan Estates is envisioned for people drawn to nature, growing things and spending more time outdoors.
Where it is.
Brindavan Estates is near Bangalore, in the Thalli–Kanakapura corridor. The exact location is Urigam village, Anchetty taluk, Krishnagiri district, Tamil Nadu, 105 km from Majestic,
Bengaluru. Kanakapura is on the way, on the Kanakapura-Hogenakal Road. It is a longer drive, so plan a leisurely
start and leave enough time to settle in when you arrive. We send the exact route and an estimate of the travel
time when we confirm your visit.
