“The ultimate goal of farming is not the growing of crops, but the cultivation and perfection of human beings.”
-Masanobu Fukuoka
At Solitude Farm, Auroville, we have been celebrating the rich local cuisine, community, and culture, as a way to honour Mother Earth. By implementing permaculture techniques, practising natural farming, and using natural resources while preserving traditional knowledge, we have been demonstrating a road back to nature.

Education at Solitude Farm is all about reconnecting with local food. Local food is our nutritional heritage and at Solitude we help bring awareness and adoption of locally grown produce in our daily lives. Through initiatives like permaculture workshops, farm tours, and weekly mini-workshops, we empower people to rediscover and value the gifts of Mother Nature.

The celebration of community, music and local food.
Sharing our work and passion over the last 30 years, the work of solitude farm has inspired many of us from all over the world to revalue local food, and explore a collective common value which is our relationship with mother nature and where our food comes from.
We celebrate mother earth’s love through dance, music, and sharing knowledge with the community.
Solitude Farm is on a mission to reconnect people with local food and reclaim their nutritional cultural identity. We want people to revalue forgotten foods and use them in their daily lives. Our vision is to spread this mantra throughout Auroville in the form of various projects.

Our daily inspirational blog: ” 365 days, a road back to Nature”, shares local food recipes, ayurvedic benefits, seed saving methods, DIY natural cosmetics and handmade soaps, waste water recycling techniques, growing and consuming edible weeds and the importance of community in the context of urban gardening and education. If you can’t get to the farm to experience our food directly, then empower yourself with “365” to start growing and making these foods yourself!
The vast industrialisation of agriculture is rapidly destroying our world. Local food is a simple solution that undermines this loss of well-being.
