🌿 Discover Farming, Friendship, and Freshness at Vihara Community Farm
Have you ever dreamt of owning farmland or growing your own food, but weren’t sure where to begin?
You’re not alone. That itch to connect with the soil, escape the city grind, and try your hand at something real is shared by many. That’s exactly why we started the Vihara Community Farm — a space just over an hour from Hyderabad, where that dream can be lived, explored, and shaped together.
đźšś What is Vihara Community Farm?
Nestled in the peaceful village of Jameelapet, about 74 km along the ORR and another scenic 11 km through winding village roads, Vihara is a community-run farm built on organic and natural farming principles. But more than that — it’s a growing movement of people who want to understand where their food comes from, how farming works, and how to participate meaningfully.
We’re not just hobbyists. We’re building something long-term. And there’s room for you, whether you’re a seasoned gardener or someone who just loves plants on Instagram.

🧑🏽‍🌾 Not Just a Weekend Plan — A Perspective Shift
Being part of Vihara gives you the perfect testbed for evaluating your interest in agriculture — before you invest in land or chase that elusive “someday” plan.
We run regular planting, harvesting, and maintenance cycles. And there’s plenty of opportunity to observe, try, experiment and even fail (because that’s where the learning lies). The goal is to develop a real understanding of how food is grown, soil is nurtured, and how nature responds to care — not control.
This is your test drive for the good life. Try it before you buy into the dream.
