Sushma and Hari are the sweethearts of the farm.
Its extremely rare to meet such pure souls and I feel... read more blessed to have met them in my life.
This surely feels like home the moment you enter and you are greeted by Sushma and Hari.

The food was so yum and feels homely at the same time.
We made bamboo straws,fresh juices from the fruits grown in the farm, cooking and a lot more.

I tasted white tea for the first time and now I am shifting to white from Green!

  A great stay with plantation all around.. It was comfortable for me. Totally recommended!

  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.

  Me and Frank had an amazing time at the unique Air BnB. At this Eco farm we were given delicious food 3 times a day and got the opportunity to... read more get involved with an ethical and sustainable way of living.

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 🙂

Please do not hesitate to stay here, dear fellow traveler 🙂 take your time to experience this beauty on earth and take it slow. Also: be prepared for a. lot. of. food. 😀

  Superb place to connect with nature. It’s a heaven on earth if you like nature and peace. Surrounded by lush green tea gardens and fruit trees. Live stocks like goats,... read more cows, chickens, ducks, and what not. Above all the care takers, Shushma and her husband Hari. We became so connected in a week’s time that it looks difficult to forget them all. Best place to do creative things like writing a book in peace or composing a music and do work from home with doodle ( no WiFi). Good place with basic facilities with a good price. Excellent home made food with 90% home grown vegetables and fruits. Nature lovers don’t think, go ahead. Have a nice time.

  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 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!

  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.

  Staying at TGG was a highlight of our 2 month adventure travelling India. Laiju is an inspiring person who welcomed us into the foundation which we were eager to learn... read more about. The farm is peaceful and beautiful but more than that, it has a soul that will leave you wanting to return as soon as possible (or staying a lot longer than planned, if able to). Laiju organised wonderful activities which are unlike the touristy excursions you will have done elsewhere. Instead, they were focused on community and skill sharing, creating a unique atmosphere which we loved being a part of. The staff are great and the food was INCREDIBLE. We cannot recommend this place enough.
We can’t wait to visit again and hope a lot of our friends and family will also get the opportunity to spend time at The Green Gardens Farm

  The place is excellent to stay away from city hustles. Very calm and serene to be.

  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.

  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.

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

  The Green Gardens farm is a quaint little place that's just ideal for a short break from the city. Its clean and organised and ideal for long walks along the... read more tea gardens in and around the farm. Biba, the caretaker is lovely and her food is simple, homely but wonderfully cooked.

I went there for a solo trip and I got exactly what I was looking for. I never felt unsafe there. Mr Laiju and his wife are extremely warm and welcoming people and they took care of every little detail.

  Just as expected. Laiju communicates perfectly and the estate is like your own.
Sushma cooks the most delicious Kerala style veg food.
Would like to stay again.
