Farming

A plot within a farmland project which is managed by experts passionate about nature and cultivation. This ensures your dream comes to life even when you are not present to personally care for your plot.

No chemical products are used as they deteriorate the quality of the soil. We follow the methods of Permaculture and Organic farming to build a regenerative naturally nurturing system and hence, no chemical products are used.

For a complete list of plants and vegetables at Vootla Farms, follow the link www.vootlafarms.com/food-forest/

Farming is based on Permaculture principles and biodiverse tree-based crops are suggested on your farm plot. The customer can decide upon the type of food forest. The plantation is done keeping in mind the seven-layer system. The main objective of this kind of plantation is to promote the farm to fork model which also promotes food freshness, safety, seasonality, and sustainability while ensuring the soil health improves every year and the food source is for generations to come.

Yes, the buyer has to choose the plants list from the Vootla contract document.
Yes, we can ensure for each co-farmer yield to be marketed via Vootla Farms by every co-farmer as right to sell their products in their circle.
Out of the entire portion of the land up to 10% of the farm plot area is identified and isolated for construction of a farmhouse and another portion of the farm plot carved out so the farm plot owner can utilize the same for personal garden/landscaping, etc. We will look after and manage those plants at a minimal surplus charge if it involves regular maintenance. However, the underlying intent of the farm plot owner should be to ensure the maintenance of the farm forest ambiance and not be detrimental to the surrounding nature and beauty.

Project

The water source for the project is the numerous artificial ponds (for Rainwater harvesting) and borewells. Water lines are laid to supply to each plot. This infrastructure helps us maintain the long-term trees in your property.

Yes, but it is not advisable to do so as the farm system has been planned in such a way that the aquifers are placed accurately on the land. Along with that we already have a centralized tank where the water is collected and is redistributed to each farmland based on the requirement.

Reason- Digging up borewells can affect the groundwater table and it might be expensive if all plot owners dig a borewell it will lead to overexploitation. All the borewells belong to the society and it’s in the interest of members to use the resources judiciously and we have framed the guideline for the same.

Permission from neighbours and local Panchayat is a must. A borewell must be placed at least 100 meters from your land border.
We have a three-phase connection used for irrigation and a single phase for domestic consumption. You can get a single- phase connection for your land by applying for permissions. Vootla Farms will assist in the process of application, at a pre- agreed price/service fee.

Documentation & Legal

“All properties sold by the company have been legally verified at the time of purchase by the company. A buyer buys the property from the company (VenkatVootlaVentures Private Limited). Encumbrance Certificate shall be provided by the company for the period until the date of purchase.”

“All properties have clear titles and are in the name of the company. It is not mandatory for a buyer to get legal done. Nonetheless, for your own satisfaction, we recommend taking a second legal opinion with regards to your purchase.”

Yes, all the legal documents will be available upon signing of a Letter of Intent (T&C Apply). Also, verification of the original documents can be organized. Our legal team can walk you through the whole process.

Maintenance

A team of experienced and well-trained Agronomists, Permaculture experts, logistics, and operation teams ensure that the farmlands are managed with flair and everything is taken care of meticulously and sustainably. The maintenance charges are levied in two portions.

Common Area Maintenance: –Upkeep of all common areas like path access maintenance, farm security, irrigation systems, Rainwater harvesting, Motors / Pumps, common lighting, common areas such as farm center, and the resting areas.

Farm Plot Maintenance: –Each farm plot requires compost application, pruning, spraying, and fertigation of organic concoctions, mulching, and crop planning. All these are a part of the farm plot maintenance. A customer can choose to manage his plot as well. The farm center will provide the necessary tools and training required for the co-farmer. We would recommend the co-farmer take this approach after 5 years of planting when the passive systems of irrigation and soil nurturing are active and ensuring minimal care is required. This is a great way to indulge in farming and to keep yourself healthy. The type of approach through syntropic farming and the passive systems created on your farm plot will ensure minimal maintenance and if one can dedicate just about 4 hours every week, they can maintain the farm easily.

The owner has an option to continue using company services with a yearly maintenance charge or maintain the property themselves per terms and conditions of the Memorandum of Understanding.
The farmland services include charges towards “customer-owned land maintenance” and “common area maintenance”. There is a clause available in the agreement which gives the customer a choice to terminate the land maintenance agreement and the services and manage the farm by himself. However, the charges of the “common area maintenance” have to be paid by the individual as per the contractual arrangement.

As a co-farmer, we endeavour to enable you to manage your farm plot by yourself. We help you with the tools and education to build a green homeland that can be nurtured by you. However, this is practical when you start to spend at least a few days a month on your farm. Once you are ready to do that you can continue to manage your farm plot by yourself and pay only for the use of the common amenities and facilities.

Land ownership is completely freehold. The owner can sell their land to anybody. There are no conditions in the service agreement either. After receiving a NOC for clearance of AMC charges the co-farmer can transfer the property in any manner.

The farm plot is a freehold asset. As an owner, you can exit at any point in time. The new purchaser will need to become a member of the society as and when a resale happens and will also have to purchase the Life Membership. This is aligned to the operations of any other society and is encouraged for the benefit of one and all.

As a landowner, you will be given a membership card to use all the amenities at our farmland retreats. However, your guest, unless accompanied by the landowner, will not be able to use any common amenities. The guest should always be accompanied by the owner or should carry the membership card. In the event only guests come in place of the owner there will be additional charges applicable.

Vootla Farms pays special attention to the security of the farm we have the following systems in place:

  • CCTV in Commonly accessed areas of the farm
  • Interlocking walls for boundary
  • 24*7 Security Guard
