Our Story
Meet Mr. Balachandran, the man who owns his dream farm. Agrilife Organic farm is a work of life that blooms and flourishes through challenges. Even living in Saudi Arabia for 25 years, a farmer’s life in his own country was always in his mind. For that, while working there, he bought land near his home in the country. Later, his father helped him realize his own dreams. It was my father who started farming in that place. After his father’s death, he returned home. Today’s agrilife farm is developed through hard work.
The Journey of AgriLife
The idea of a farm started in 2015. He started with goat farming, Crossbred goats like Jamnapyari, Malabari and Totapuri were cultivated. Later he turned to cattle rearing. It started with the Vechur cow. A good cow shed was built from the thought of moving forward to a good farm. Now the farm contains 15 cows. Organic vegetable farming emerged from how to utilize cow dung. Along with that Ayurjack plant saplings were also planted. Now the jackfruit has opened up a good market. Ananganadi Grama Panchayat’s beekeeping program also opened the way to bee farming. Honey fetches good market value. Along with that, small scale fish farming and paddy cultivation are being done under Agrilife Organic Farm.
