Farmland Development

“Every acre of land which is converted into organic farm is a service to Mother Earth.”

Gratitude farms invites you to transform your land into an organic food forest. Farmland Development Service, aims at developing a high yielding Food Forest Model with highly focused and disciplined operations.

It comes with scientific and standardized land preparation for organic farming, nursery management and plant life cycle management. With Food-Forest Model, Gratitude Farms offer full, focused and expert service which converts unused land into an organic farmland in as little as six months. Typically the food forest model enables the growth of 10 – 15 types of Vegetables, Fruits and Greens and has a potential to yield 10 – 12 tons per year per acre. Through this effort, we are contributing to livelihood of ex-soldiers, local rural women and youth and training them to be organic farming practitioners.
