Peanut Harvest at the Mayapur Gurukula (4 min. video)
Gurukula students harvest peanuts at our farm in Mayapur.
Around 60% of the Mayapur Gurukula’s food needs are taken care of by our own farm, where students participate in managing 20 acres of fields to produce vegetables, rice, fruits, spices, and more. All of the agriculture at our Gurukula is completely organic.
Participating in the farm activities helps our students to learn a more natural way of life, to understand where food really comes from, and why traditional methods of agriculture are important. We don’t use any tractors: all of our fields are plowed using oxen. In our Goshala we have 8 oxen, 6 cows, and 2 calves.
