Monsoon clouds over the green belt of Bidadi.
Since 2016
A grandfather’s land, grown back into a forest of food.
Thathana Thota means “Grandfather’s Farm.” What began as five acres of tired, inherited land in Bidadi has been rebuilt weekend by weekend — planting, mulching, harvesting rain, and letting the soil find its own way back.
Nothing here is sprayed and nothing is rushed. Mango, sapota, banana, millets and timber share the same ground, and each season teaches us something the last one didn’t.
