As January rolls in, our nursery is busier than ever. The recent cyclone set us back briefly, but with teamwork and determination, we quickly got things back on track to make the most of this productive season.
The damage to the nursery after cyclone Fengal (left) and the partial reconstruction (right) to help us continue in this crucial planting season.
Each winter, we focus on cultivating a variety of salad greens such as Arugula, Lettuce, and Celery, along with our staple vegetables. This year, we are pleased to introduce a new addition to our crops – Palak Keerai, also known as Spinach; a much-loved favourite!
We’re also experimenting with a few different types of greens and hope to expand our offerings soon. Stay tuned!
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.
