Soil Health

★ SOIL IS OUR HERO ★

Our soil is worth its weight in gold. We wish to leave it in a better shape than when we received it.

WE PRACTICE MULCHING

Farm waste is never burnt. All farm waste is recycled as Mulch.

Mulching preserves soil health, promotes dense microbiology, provides Thermal Insulation and enhances water retaining capacity.

PROTECTED BY
BORDER TREES

10,000 Australian Pine trees planted all along the border serve as wind barriers. They help create and maintain an insulated micro environment on the farm - they encourage biodiversity. Our farm is now home to a wide variety of insects, birds and reptiles.

FOOD FOREST

RESTORING LOCAL ECOLOGIES

What picture does the word ‘Forest’ bring to mind? Dense, lush shades of green? Wild herbs, shrubs, plants and trees of all shapes and sizes - all growing together?

At TBOF, we are developing a food forest - a glorious dream of ours! An embodiment of life supporting life. All forms of life will flourish and form symbiotic communities of harmony. Food that grows in an environment like this mothered by nature can heal and nourish all of mankind.

DESI COW X HEALTHY SOIL

Gobar (Cow Dung) and Gomutra (Cow Urine) are used as the only inputs into the soil. Native Cow Dung is shown to be perfectly PH balanced - it is not acidic or alkaline and serves as a self sustaining, nourishing environment for the good bacteria to survive. Our Cow shed is connected to a built up drainage system which is further connected to the Biogas setup and Slurry pit. Manure is collected from this slurry Pit after 7 days and used as fertilizer on the farm.
