"Nature is not a place to visit. Nature is home"

The Full Story

What started as a simple vision to grow the food we eat quickly turned into something much bigger. We thought farming was just about growing food—wrong! Soon, we realized that healthy food can only come from healthy soil. That made us rethink the choices we make every day—the plastic we use, the chemicals we avoid, and the waste we refuse to let touch our land.  

​

And slowly, the farm became more than just a place to grow food. It became a sanctuary—for the soil, the rescued animals, the wildlife, and for us.  

​

At The Lilac Farm, we are deeply committed to sustainability and a plant-based lifestyle. Our journey began as a mother-daughter duo, transforming a former barren land into a sanctuary that now promotes seasonal, native food and healthy living.  

​

Our 13-acre farm, located near Somashettihalli in Bengaluru, offers a serene escape from city life. Our farmstay is powered entirely by clean energy and operates on a zero-waste model. We aim to provide guests with a unique and mindful experience away from the city, promoting natural farming, seasonal native foods, and sustainable living.  

​

We offer a variety of services and retreats, including health retreats, yoga retreats, corporate outings, and school outings. These activities are designed to bring people closer to nature and provide a deeper understanding of sustainable living.  

Our mission is to create a cruelty-free and conscious world, and we're excited to share this journey with you. Whether you're looking to reconnect with nature, learn about sustainable farming, or simply relax in a peaceful environment, The Lilac Farm welcomes you.

Rooted in Ancestral Knowledge

We strive to reintroduce ancestral knowledge and ways of life, embracing the wisdom of those who lived in harmony with nature. From traditional farming and foraging to mindful living, we honor time-tested practices that nurture both the land and the soul.
