Vision and Mission
Since its inception, Auro Orchard’s main vision was to provide food for the Auroville community. For many years, to meet the immediate needs of the Auroville community in food, conventional farming practices were used, but since 2012, Auro Orchard is being converted into an organic farm.
Regenerative organic farming (agro-ecology) is now the motto of the farm.
