SNS Organic Farm Agri-tourism, also known as agricultural tourism, is a type of tourism where visitors experience firsthand the workings of a farm or agricultural operation. This can include activities such as picking fruits and vegetables, visiting animal barns and pastures, and learning about sustainable farming practices. Agri-tourism not only provides visitors with a unique and educational experience, but it also benefits the local economy and agricultural community. It helps to increase the income and profitability of local farms by diversifying their revenue streams and attracting new customers. In addition, agri-tourism can play an important role in preserving and promoting traditional farming practices and rural culture. Many agri-tourism operations are run by small family farms that have been passed down for generations, and these farms often offer a glimpse into the history and heritage of the local area. By visiting these farms, visitors can learn about the traditions and customs of rural communities and gain a better understanding of the importance of agriculture in our daily lives.

Inspired by his “virtual guru” Narayan Reddy, the celebrated natural farmer, he taught himself the principles of natural farming. Today he has a thriving farm that he runs with his family in Chikkaballapur.
