Trip to an Organic Farm

On 12th August , a group of 35 students visited Chiguru farm. It is an organic farm located in the outskirts of Bangalore in Kanakpura Taluk.

Here, crops are grown without the usage of chemical pesticides and fertilizers. They practice vermicomposting and rain water harvesting. As a substitute for fertilizers they use  the protein rich compost and manure from cow dung.

            We were enlightened on various topics such as bees, pollination, species of trees etc.

The organic lunch served here tasted different from the one we have in restaurants.Before we left we planted a few saplings. The experience left me feeling a new sense of purpose and I decided to support organic farming. This was truly an experience we can never forget.
