We offer a welcoming environment for learners, researchers, and seekers who wish to help us and learn more about the land, food, culture, and themselves. We respect each person’s journey and interests and are open to proposals for how their time at the farm can be meaningful for them and the farm. Work commitments vary according to each individual’s interests and capacity. We only ask that volunteers be sincere, responsible, and respectful with the team and the work.

We offer two simple shared options on the farm, with basic facilities (bed, bedding, mosquito net, fan, shared kitchen, toilet, and Wi-Fi):
For more options, you can book a guesthouse in Auroville through Auroville Guesthouses. We recommend Serendipity Guest House and International House, which offer discounts for long-term AuroOrchard volunteers.
AuroOrchard is located just outside Auroville’s main area, about a 15–20 minute cycle ride from most guesthouses.
