About us / who we are.

The 'God's Own Country', Kerala is a destination ideally created for Farm Tourism. Being an agricultural state, Kerala has many opportunities to explore farm tourism. Nothing has to be created here. Naturally they exist and naturally they can be promoted. Some of the places which boast for farm and plantation tourism are:

Farm tourism and spice tourism goes well at Idukki. Said to be an integral part of eco­tourism,Farm tourism is seen to be more in Kumily in Idukki. Farm tourism here is helping the farmers to increase their income by promoting tourism activities. They can also market their products through farm tourism.

Usually tourists are more interested on organic farming, where one can get fresh vegetables and other products. Everything will be natural, that means chemicals will not be used at all. Visiting farms and buying products are some other activities, which is common here. That seems to be a pleasant experience.

Idukki is famous for spices like pepper and cardamom. Rubber, coffee and coconut are other important crops. Along with these products, vegetables also play an important role in developing farm tourism in Idukki.

Wayanad is a high altitude district, which is favourable for the cultivation for plantation crops and spices. The major crops at Wayanad are coffee, tea, cardamom and rubber. Interestingly here one can see coffee based farming system. Coconut and ginger cultivations are also common here. As per reports, paddy field is around 22,772 hectares.

Wayanad is famous for organic farming. Wayanad always attracts the tourists to its beautiful farms which is free from all types of chemicals. This is to maintain the untouched nature here. The crops include arecanut, pepper, vegetables, tuber crops, drumstick, papaya etc. Tourists also get a chance to buy organic products from Wayanad. They also have different opportunities like:

  • A stay in a farm
  • To take part in plantations
  • A tour to these plantations
  • Feeding of farm animals

Agriculture is considered to be the main occupation of people in Palakkad. Said to be the 'Granary of Kerala', Paddy, Coconut, Rubber, Pulses, Areca nut, Tapioca, Ginger, Groundnut, Sugarcane, Cotton etc are cultivated here. There are lots of agricultural farms in Palakkad, which are initiating the production of agricultural products in this district. They are:

  • Horticultural Development Farm in Malampuzha
  • Orange and Vegetable farm, Nelliampathy
  • Integrated Seed Development farm, Erthempathy
  • Central Orchard, Pattambi
  • State Seed Farms in Aalathur, Kunathur, Kongad, Ananganadi and Muthalamada

Palakkad is famous for the unique 'Navara grain'. The famous 'Navara Organic Eco Farm' is placed near Chittur. The 18 acres land in Palakkad is a bast spot for farm tourism. Apart from 'Navara grains', one can also find here other crops like mango, pomegranate, medical herbs and bamboo. It is family run farm, more than hundred years of old. Around 8 visitors can visit this farm at a time. Also enjoy tasty dishes from here.

One of the specialty of Kuttanad is that here we can see farming below sea level. The land is cultivated twice in a year. The harvest season of Kuttanad is filled with fun and celebration. It is one of the few places which is still following traditional system for agriculture practices. They still use traditional water wheel and box made of wood.

In order to promote agriculture in 'Kuttanad', the government has initiated an integrated farming system. This includes revival of farming, ecological rehabilitation and enhancement of the livelihood. Keralites should be proud that in 2013, the United Nation's Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO) has granted heritage status for the farming system in Kuttanad. Kuttanad also holds a tag on Globally Important Agricultural Heritage System.

This rich agriculture background of 'Kuttanad' is always attracting tourists to this beautiful place. This also directly and indirectly promotes farm tourism here. Government is also taking major steps to promote 'farm tourism' in Kuttanad.

Pathanamthitta

With all these resources available, Pathanamthitta is one of the major farm tourism destination in Kerala. The land here is divided into three – lowland, midland and highland. Coming to the scope of 'farm tourism', Pathanamthitta consist of three seed farms which consist of vegetable seeds, paddy seeds etc. You can also find here a collection of livestock like ducks, buffaloes, cows, sheeps, fowls, pigs and goats.

The two fish breeding centres of Pathanamthitta is also a place promoting farm tourism. The farmers use to buy fingerlings of labeo, catla, mrigal, rohu and cyprimes from here, thus promoting Aqua Tourism too.

Mango Village Resort, Palakkad

Welcome to MANGO VILLAGE - Indulge in a Malayali Family's Hospitality!

Family stay at palakkad

Spread across 45-plus acres, tucked away on the fringes of a tiny hamlet and yet only a few kilometers off the main road, the Mango Village is blessed with richly fertile, alluvial soil and a year-round salubrious climate There is a well-maintained mango orchard with over 15 varieties of the luscious fruit, an organic vegetable garden shaded by tall, swaying betel and coconut palms, medicinal herbs, spice plants, and livestock including the emu, the second-largest living bird by height, complete with a colorfully painted Kalavandi (traditional bullock cart) perfect for joy rides! The environment here is sublime, exuding the quaintness and tranquility of a laid-back village in rural Kerala, far removed from the cacophony of urban living. The towering peaks seem close enough to touch and the magnificence of Mother Nature in all her magical splendor is truly awe-inspiring. The Mango Village is an eco-tourism destination, and is open to walk-in guests who want to experience the ambiance of a real functional farm in all its natural ethnicity in a naturally rural and village setting. Vijeesh, Kavitha and their sons Srihari and Srinath together manage the Mango Village and their guesthouses, serving as the primary hosts. They love sharing their everyday life in tandem with Mother Nature and take immense pride and joy in personally welcoming their guests with warmth and graciousness while going the extra mile to wait on them hand and foot in ensuring their absolute satisfaction at all times unlike large commercial enterprises catering to a touristy clientele.

My father Vijayan and my mother Shantha bought this land in the early 1980s (about 35 years ago) while my younger brother and I were toddlers. We used to live at our ancestral home in Kollengode Village a few kilometers away but our parents used to come here and toil everyday on these 45 acres, which was then almost like a small forest with wild fowl and foxes. We used to join them on weekends and during school holidays and help them in vegetating the land with seasonal cash crops and in systematically planting mango trees, coconut and betel palm, pepper vines, ginger, turmeric and other medicinal herbs. My parents retired and few years back and are now living with my brother, a businessman, at our house in Kollengode. I moved here with my wife and the boys after building the farmhouse, which Kavitha and I built with money earned off the produce of this land. Once we started living here full-time, we were able to employ permanent workers to help us expand our operations here to include livestock, build up our own nursery and plant some of the choicest varieties of mango including the more well-liked varieties such as Alphonso; Sindooram; Banganapilly; Neelam; Himapasand; Thotha Puri; Malgova, Gudhadath; and Kalapadi among others. Mango tree production depends on flowering, which is often the first indicator of the yield for the coming season. Flowering starts in December-January and lasts till February to the beginning of March. It can be distorted by sudden rains or heat waves during this period. Not all trees will flower equally in one orchard especially for varieties like Alphonso. A mango tree can produce from 20 kg up to 200 kilograms per harvest season. Mango yield is thus difficult to forecast, as it also varies a lot across years. Over the years we used to get many visitors to our orchard, especially during the summer months when the mangoes ripen. This prompted us to set up traditional cottages on the property to have guests experience rural village life and see first-hand how a farm is run. We christened it the "Mango Village," as mangoes are our single largest cash crop. The rest as they say is history. We are proud to say that our clientele has grown from just families from the neighboring state of Tamil Nadu to include visitors from the rest of India, Europe and the Americas who stay with us to enjoy unadulterated living close to Mother Nature and to relish our cuisine and way of life as part of our family. Today, Mango Village is more than just another mango orchard for deliciously succulent mangoes nurtured with care and served with love. It is a destination in itself and reflects our inherent family values, which we hope and pray will be imbibed by our boys and the tradition continued over generations to come.
