PETRICHOR – Farm, Studio & Eco Education Centre
About Us
We are a Farm Community, Studio and Eco-Education Center working in harmony with other small farmers of the region to build a healthy alternative where we strive to live sustainably and responsibly with each other. Ecological sustainability is the primary focus of our long-term vision and as our village grows, we want to see this ideal tak
e shape. Diversity is an important element for us and our village consists of individuals, families and an income sharing community. As a Farming community, our design system stems from the regenerative principles of Permaculture and the patterns of nature as we work with it rather than against nature. Besides growing our own food, we harvest honey, ferment local probiotics, preserve pickles, hot sauces, jams and dried products for sale in and outside the farm. We cook the organic food we grow and try to eat by the seasons. We also conduct cooking classes involving recipes that inspire people to eat fresh, healthy, wellness meals that heal the body, mind and soul. As a Studio, we train, design and work with our community craftsmen and women to handcraft merchandise and souvenirs, which are put out for sale as an effort to raise funds for our farm and community. We primarily work with bamboo that is grown in abundance here and is one of the most regenerative plants in the world and other reclaimed, upcycled, recycled scraps and materials that are found in our daily lives, to of course uphold our eco-living intention and to be softer on the planet. As an Eco Education Center, we provide resources for classes, workshops and overall community development for schools and other educational institutions, volunteer groups, visitors, corporate organizations etc through various programs like our Forest School Module, Sustainable Handicrafts Workshops, Cooking Classes, Yoga Retreat and Permaculture Design Workshops. Vision: Our vision is to inspire our community towards being a viable example of sustainable living that strives towards self sufficiency and economic independence, while also helping them bridge the gap between mainstream and rural rifts with outreach, education and exposure to encourage their dreams and aspirations. Mission: Our mission is to foster growth in our community and our environment through education and regenerative systems via sustainable farming methods and the implementation of sustainable creative initiatives.
