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.

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.

  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

  I honestly can’t say enough good things about this place. It is total magic. It will open your heart and mind. It’s totally safe, very tranquil and private, and an... read more all-around retreat-like environment. The flora and fauna are vast and interesting, there are fun critters running around the farm if you’re still enough to wait for them. The room was cools be quiet and spacious, the bed was comfortable and the bathroom was big! Laiju and his family were very helpful in setting up trips to town and helped me with everything I needed. I was traveling totally solo, and I couldn’t have felt safer honestly. And of course, my two sweet loves, Hari and Sushma, worked on the farm everyday and we became fast friends. They are both such gems, and were extremely accommodating. They showed me so much love and kindness, the language barrier really stopped mattering after a while. Oh and The food was absolutely delicious and fresh—like super fresh.

There are trails to walk throughout the farm, not to mention some lovely little village roads to run around. You will get lost in the vast array of fruit trees and crops. And if you’re lucky, Laiju will sell you some fresh coffee and black pepper to take home. Don’t miss your chance to do the pepper dance, either—it’s legendary.

Please do yourself a favor and stay here. Check out the organization, give it a go, and let your soul decide. It knows the way!

  I had a great time in the Tgg farm.

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 got to have,fresh coconut, mulberries, avacado, banana and rose apples.
I tasted white tea for the first time and now I am shifting to white from Green!
Hari helped me learn tree climbing.
I planted a clove tree 🙂
Had tea leaves plucking experience with some cute women.

Laiju Sir was available for me, encouraged me with everything I did and provided me with so many opportunities to explore in the farm.

Also, I love how the money you pay is utilized for the growth of the rural community.

I am a solo traveller. Auto driver Murli was there to pick me up and drop me to the bus stop late in the night waiting with me till I got into the bus.
I got to meet very warm and kind people in village.

There is so much to write about it, I would suggest you to just go and experience it yourself! It's a must have experience.

A big thanks to Laiju Sir, Hari, Sushma, Murli and all the lovely people who I interacted during my stay made me feel the world is so kind, warm and beautiful ❤

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

  Good place to visit, if you want to get away from the city environment and pollution.

  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.

  I would rate this more than 5-stars if I could. It’s a big shame what is happening to our environment at the moment, and by staying in a place like... read more this, you are contributing to a better world. Laiju and sushma will take great care of you, and you will leave feeling rejuvenated, relaxed and hopeful about the future of our world. This place is one of a kind. Switch off and get in touch!

  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!

  wonderful place right in middle of a calm forest and lush greenery till where your eyes can see. Hari and sushma are such gems. helped us with everything around the... read more farm.

it was wonderful meeting Mr. Laiju and his learning about his vision for a better world. would highly recommend a visit to get some nature flowing within you.

  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.

  One of the best decision of 2021 was to visit Wayanad. We planned this trip to take a break from hustle bustle of city life and nothing could have been... read more better than THE GREEN GARDEN farm stay. We loved this place soo much that we decided to spend more time in the Lap of Mother Nature rather than visiting too many touristy places.

To talk about the hospitality that was shown by Mr Laiju including their staff, is way more than what we expected. Despite of Mr. Laiju's absence, his continuous effort of communicating and coordinating with staff made our stay and trip seamless and comfortable. We enjoyed farm grown fresh produce & delicious Kerala cuisine food cooked by Sushma. We got to know a lot about sustainable living practices and experiences with our interaction with Sushma and Hari.

A special thanks to Mr Laiju for an amazing birthday surprise arrangement for my spouse on her special day.

We are gonna cherish the memories of Wayanad journey with TGG Foundation for long time and looking forward to our next visit very soon.

In short, our 5 day stay at farm was full of new experiences, learning and moments which cant be described in words!
