Abhishek’s vision is to turn his 5 acre farm into a home for himself and his family. While he has no commercial intentions for the land, he would like to grow enough food to provide for his own needs as well as those of close family and friends. Another priority is to improve the water table through proper storm water management in order to be free from reliance on the common bore-well.
One area of the land will be a community forest garden where locals and others can go and harvest produce freely.
