Hi all…
This is my post here…
Happy to find a great forum like this related to farming…
I am organic/natural farming enthusiast… and looking to learn more about organic farming by visiting some farms around Hyd before really getting into it.
Could somebody give me references / contacts of existing organic farms in and around Hyderabad (with in ~100KM)…
Would like to visit in the next week.
Thank you for the reply.
I just want to visit the farms and get the first hand experience of natural/organic farming before starting on our own.
I have good land with plenty of water supply which is currently under chemical and trying to acquire one virgin land.
Once I get good picture of the natural farming, would like to start small and grow. [I am ready to learn from failures/losses for couple of years]
I am from IT background and want to get into Organic farming like you. I have done some research on it but have not visited in any farms because of my tight schedule. I do not have any land but am trying to acquire some initially.
Please find the below links from youtube which can provide some knowledge.
ZBNF by Subhash Palekar (Telugu): This is like a training program for Organic bingers
Also find some videos of farmers shown on TV. One way to geain knowledge is seeing some TV programs and if you do not have time find the same videos on Youtube when ever you are free.

You can whatsapp me at 8008341925. Will be busy in calls during weekdays so whatsapp will be better than calls.
I wish there are a few people visit together and work for an hour or two. That way you also experience the farming as well as help us .
