Solitude Farm was started in January 1996 by a group of young Aurovilians with the vision of creating a self-sustainable farming community. Krishna, one of the pioneers, has developed the farm using the natural farming principles of Masanobu Fukuoka (author of The One Straw Revolution) and Permaculture techniques. The farm is a 6 acre plot and grows indigenous millets and rice, oil seeds, grams and pulses, a wide diversity of vegetables and a variety of fruit trees.
The aim of Solitude is to manifest a dynamic integrated lifestyle, incorporating music and arts with farming as the foundation of a vibrant community
