Farm trips could be the best choice to catch a glimpse of a relatively calmer life we lead daily. North Bengal has given a long-term vivid idea about farming and vegetation since decades. A not so familiar lifestyle of people involved in farms like The Petrichor Farm (Gorubathan) and The Auks Farm (Soreng, Darjeeling) are certain curious cases for outsiders. Actually, Petrichor is not just a farm, it’s a growing community which practices and encourages several activities in harmony with local villagers through organic farming, conducting programs for visitors to share the ways of simple & sustainable living in an eco-friendly environment, encouraging volunteers to participate in farming work, inviting artists to take part in art & craft, and of course offering such wonderful farm stays to guests to experience it all. The Auks farm is rich in farming; they grow rice and all seasonal vegetables like potatoes, tomatoes, spinach, bitter gourd, cucumber, maze, carrots, radish, beetroot, beans, broccoli etc. And also spices and fruits – guavas, bananas, they have planted 150 orange trees, avocados, passion fruit, strawberry, mango, plums, lichee and many more. And then there are different kinds of flowering plants as well. So, in search of an organic change in lifestyle, our next seven days will experience a typical farm life in North Bengal.
