We loved our time here. If you’re somebody always desperate for activities then maybe this isn’t for you but if you love being in nature and eating incredible food then this one is definitely one to recommend.

Thanks Mr Laiju and Co 🙂

  We had a wonderful and peaceful stay at the Farm. Laiju was very friendly and the communication was always helpful.
You have to be an RHM-member to stay at the... read more farm but getting the membership is an easy task. To realize the sustainability-goals you have to fulfill requirements which are flexible and easily done.
All in all we enjoyed the green remote farm and the few days we spend there!

  So, this is a place where you can actually connect to nature, meditate and rejuvenate. The location of the farm is awesome, the stay is inside a 5 acre tea... read more and coffee plantation, that too raw means unlike resorts it’s not crafted by humans. Even outside the farm at less than 100 meters, there’s a tea plantation, coffee plantation, very beautiful roads to take a walk around. We stayed there for 4N/5D and it was a complete bliss.
I will list down what we really liked about our stay
1. The host Mr. Laiju is a very informative and helpful person, it makes the stay very smooth and likeable. He is one go-to person for everything you need in executing your trip like info related to places to visit, nearby eateries etc. Also, we were humbled when he hosted us to his place for lunch and prepared North Indian cuisine the way we like
2. The staffs inside the farm are very polite and sweet, though I could barely understand their language still, we communicated haha!
3. Waking up in the morning with birds chirping, fresh wind blowing and a hearty south Indian breakfast is something I am going to miss dearly.
4. Farm has fresh coconut water, fresh milk from the dairy inside the farm
Now, few things I would like to mention for guests who might not like it
1. This is a very normal homestay kinda thing so don’t expect much, like it has got bare minimum amenities inside the room. There will be one room and a bathroom for the guests
2. Food menu would be simple Kerala style cuisine
3. Sometimes, inside the room internet might not work but generally in the farm it works properly
So, basically this is a place for people who simply want to relax, eat simple desi food, connect with nature, admire cows, birds, trees, every creation of god and enjoy walking around lush greenery. Also, regarding sightseeing in Wayanad, we didn’t have any problem. Every place is accessible even if you don’t have your own vehicle, autos are there till Sulthan bathery (nearest market) and from there public transport/private cab options would be available.

  The farmstay was perfect for those looking to be alone with nature and escape the hustle and bustle of the city. The surrounding area was calm and serene, providing a... read more much-needed break from the noise and chaos of everyday life.

One of the highlights of our stay was the excellent Kerala style food served at the farmstay. Despite the rustic setting, the accommodations were simple but comfortable.The room was clean and cozy, and it also featured a great verandah, which was perfect for enjoying the beautiful natural surroundings. Laiju ji was very friendly and welcoming, and he made sure that we had everything needed to make our stay comfortable.

Overall, I would highly recommend this Airbnb farmstay to anyone looking for a peaceful, nature-filled escape. The food, atmosphere, and accommodations were all outstanding, and I can't wait to return for another stay.

  Entry to the place is a bit difficult without assistance. Once reached you are in a world of your own.

  Peaceful stay, worth your time and money. Shushma and Hari were helpful, cooked delicious food. Met Laiju in person for dinner at RHM centre and had a great time, will... read more definitely recommend it.

  This place is very different from typical Airbnb stays. In a 4.5 acre farm with so many different kinds of fruits and trees and interesting birds, this will give you... read more a glimpse of how a minimalist life in a village would be. Laiju is a great and selfless soul. He is building a community of like-minded folks who want a slow life amidst nature. Highly recommended to try it out. You will not be disappointed.

  Perfect destination if you want a place away from any kind of civilization.

  My girlfriend and I stayed at Laiju’s place for our trip in wayanad and it was one of our best experiences together. The place is far from the busy streets... read more and is instead located in nature. This allows a lot of opportunity to disconnect and live much more simply. The hosts were super caring and helpful always responding to any questions or concerns that we had. The nature surrounding the airbnb is very lush providing many things to do and see. The airbnb also provided a food option of three meals a day and each of them were extremely fresh and delicious. I highly recommend Laiju’s place to someone looking for a raw and beautiful experience in some of the best nature India has to offer.

  The stay have been amazing. Laiju is a great host. He keeps on ensuring our comfort, checks with us as well as the staff .
Hari and Sushma are great... read more human beings. I would want to visit the place only to be around those people. Felt like home.
Sushma Chechi cooks great food.
It was a perfect vacation for us. Thanks Laiju for maintaining the place as it is. The organic greens. The vegetable from the garden. Enjoyed every bit of it.

  This is one of those special experiences you'll cherish through life. The space allowed me to re-connect with myself, waking up to the sounds of birds, dew on the porch,... read more and fresh air. I'm grateful this place exists and thank Mr.Laiju for allowing me to experience this hidden gem.

  Very peaceful getaway, perfect for those who want to eat great homemade food and take time for themselves.

  Wonderful stay at the Green Gardens farm. I stayed here solo and enjoyed the privacy and space to connect with nature. I felt safe.

Host Laiju and his wife... read more I cannot thank enough especially for helping me with transport and arranging some activities.

My advice would be to stay for at least 4 days ( more, weeks if you can) to connect with the place and relax. It is worth travelling to, but please ask Laiju on best way to get there as I took a awful sleeper bus that was quite traumatic! There are much better ways to get tho the farm.

Someone local cooked food for me three times a day which was wonderful and is also a great thing to do.

It is a place to relax and unwind and take walks. Highly recommended.

Bring books if you are in to them. And get up early 7 or even earlier, it’s a good time to sit outside.

  My wife and I had four wonderful days staying at the Green Gardens farm.
Lajiu kept following up with us till we reached the farm on the day of... read more arrival. He was also available on (Hidden by Airbnb) or a quick call if we need any information.

Care takers Sushma and Hari are just wonderful.

Sushma is an amazing cook. We loved the food served throughout our stay. Jackfruit seeds curry was my favorite. Sushma packed a few Jackfruit chips as well for our return journey.

Hari is an all rounder. He has amazing knowledge of the plants and trees in the farm.

The farm fruits are just delicious. We had avocados, Passion fruit, jackfruit, Pineapple, Guava, Carrots and the humble Banana.

The best part of the stay is the plant donation activity. We thoroughly enjoyed planting a Jamba plant.

The farm itself is a bio-diversity hotspot. I saw many new bird (close to 20) and plant species. Only regret I have is that I could not capture the birds. (Carry a good SLR camera if you love capturing birds and insects.) They are just vibrant. Whole day I was just listening to the sounds of these little birds.

There are very big nurseries close to the stay. If you enjoy visiting one, give it a try.

First day we found it a little difficult to adjust to the noise of Crickets. Got used to it from the second day.

It was a great decision to stay in the Green Gardens farm. Live close to the nature, soak in the sun, enjoy and relax your body and mind.

Looking forward to my next trip to the Green Gardens.

  lovely place for bird watching,solitude and very friendly staff.

  This place is not like any other homestay. As rightly mentioned in the description - this is a rustic farm-stay with immaculate cleanliness, nice basic infrastructure, heartwarming hospitality & loads... read more of peace and tranquility amidst a full fledged jungle. It's a unique concept targeted at people who want to just be there with nature and themselves - reading, meditating or doing nothing.
The home like vibes and ever smiling faces of Sushma ji & Hari ji who served delicious meals were at the core of my peaceful solitary retreat here. Will definitely be back. Keep up the good work Laiju sir!

  The Green Garden is an amazing place to stay at Wayanad, nestled among the forest and tea plantations around. If you love nature and have an open mind to absorb... read more its essence look no further. Hospitality and the smile of all the people who care for and work at the farm is unparalleled. It's a safe place to stay and all local travel is well arranged by Laiju Sir and Sushma, who cares for the farm. She cooks amazing food and is a very hard working woman and her energy itself is inspiring.

  This is a very special place indeed. I had a wonderful 5 days and nights in this beautiful part of the World. Sushma, Hari and Laiju deserve all the rave... read more reviews they get, 5 stars all over. The hospitality, the kindness, the attention, the facilities, the gorgeous homemade vegeterian food, the peace and quiet, the beautiful surroundings, the birds singing etc etc. It just felt very very good, and I was sad to leave, and hopefully I will be back sooner than later. Highly highly recommended for nature loving people who want to get a real feel of rural Kerala.

  We visited from 16th to 26th October, that is me and my wife, we had planned a long holiday after many years, we were little apprehensive about our stay at... read more Green Garden farm, but were hopeful that it will turnout to be good after reading the reviews and so we took a risk, but it turn out to be very good decision in the end, I am quite familiar with Wayanad as I love this place alot, I had been to Wayanad many times in last few years, We reached the place around 4pm, check-in was quick and we immediately entered our room, which was quite basic as expected, bathroom was right outside the room no overhead shower, room and bathroom were clean, outside the place was full of trees, tea gardens, wherever you turn your head it was green,What a sight for sore eyes,nature at is best, early morning walks were great, everywhere we could see was so soothing for eyes and mind,birds singing, cows mooing, goats bleating,duck quacking, about a km away a canal was full of water flowing,we got everyday fresh eggs to eat,fresh milk to drink, Sushma and Hari the person who looks after the guests were very good natured,were always there to help us,then Mr. Laiju himself was available to guide us,he came visiting us two to three times we had good time chatting with him,then there was one more couple from U S with their kid Ukko the iconic child, the couple Christopher and Laura are really very friendly and helping nature,we had great time chatting with them knowing their culture and sharing ours with them. But I would warn those who are accustomed to hotel rooms type of service please avoid, you will feel disappointed, better book some hotel room,here you have to work alongside Sushma for your breakfast, lunch and dinner, and enjoy with them your cooking and cleaning etc. If I get a chance from my busy life to visit again Wayanad, I would definitely book this place again,For non veg eaters this place is big no. Already missing Wayanad.

  This has two of my most favourote things come together:
1. Nature - 6 acres of adundant nature just for you. Breathing the air and let the birds fly by... read more your side are pleasures you can never get bored of.

2. Food - Biba's home made Malyali food is heavenly. Never had such delicious, authentic local food.

And to top it the philosophy with which Mr. Laiju ]has set this up - real sustainability amidst the greed of capitalism. He was gracious enough to inivte me at his house for the wonderful dinner and we had such diverse and immersive talks over the days I spent there.

The facilities are essential so go there not for the luxury but for the experience you will have.

  Our stay at Green garden’s farm was great. Such a peaceful, serene accommodation. The room was clean and comfortable. Food is so homely and delicious. Laiju is extremely helpful... read more and helped us with other recommendations in Wayanad as well. Special thanks to Namita and Laiju, for inviting us for lunch, it was delicious!
We will definitely go back 🙂
