Play with friendly animals at The Roots Farm

Goats are very mischievous
Cows have beautiful eyes.
Hens can be very haughty
And quails are tiny in size
 

Ducks love eating bread
And so, do rabbits
Though overfeeding them
Is not a good habit
 

Fishes in Koi ponds
Are surprisingly not very coy
When you are playing with the animals at The Roots Farm
Your heart will be full of joy

The Roots Farm philosophy

Gorgeous resorts near Mumbai

During our visit, we were fortunate to meet R. Mohan the founder of the Roots Farm and his entire family who are some of the warmest people you will ever meet. In addition to making us feel welcome, they went out of their way to be hospitable and kind. We had the opportunity to chat with Mr. R. Mohan on his philosophy. He began by talking about the importance of organic food and healthy living being the prerequisite of a happy life. He firmly believes that everybody should be treated with love, care and kindness. Going beyond his guests, he extends the same principles to all the animals in the farm.

The farm boasts of Vedic Indian desi Gir cows which are famed for their A2 milk. The cows listen to classical music because happy animals give healthy yields.
