Farm of Happiness | Anandache Shet

Welcome to Farm of Happiness (आनंदाचं शेत) - an Authentic Farm Stay!

We are located on a scenic plateau of village Phungus in Sangameahwar Taluka of Ratnagiri District.

What to Expect: A Living, Working Farm

An Authentic Experience: This is a working, sustainable organic farm—not a luxury resort or a swanky farmhouse.
Sprawl and Biodiversity: The land covers 20 acres in total, featuring
- 5 to 6 acres dedicated to the cultivation of seasonal crops
- The remaining acreage flourishing with a biodiverse mix of native trees, bushes, grass, and local wildlife.
What We Grow: We cultivate a variety of seasonal crops for farm consumption, including Paddy (rice), Millets, Beans, vegetables, and fruits.
Two Decades of Sustainability: Since 2007, we have spent nearly 20 years learning to sustainably produce our own food, fuel (Bio-Gas and wood), and water.
Our Animal Community: The farm is home to cattle, chickens, and dogs, the bees all of whom actively contribute to our slow and sustainable way of living.

If you are longing a mindful living with the soil, the crops and the trees, birds and an abundance of pure breath... this is the right place.
