RS Farmstay agroforest design on 10 Acre plot in
Ratnagiri, India.
Situated on North facing slop it has various levels of slopes on
surface, highest point is South East Land and lowest point is North West. Plot
is surrounded by monoculture mango and cashew farm, village road is located at
South from where Monsoon water runs of through this plot carrying some levels of
toxic chemicals that we don't want directly in our food forest, So we have to
slow it down, filter through ridge beds soak in before leaving our plot.

climate.wet season is warm, oppressive, windy, overcast and the dry season is
hot, muggy, located close to the equator, making the summers difficult to define
and mostly clear over the course of the year.
Soil condition is not so good and
degrading due to constant erosion, heavy flow of water during monsoon, chemical
usage of neighborhood monoculture farms. In Accommodation we plan to build Mud
house cabins, tourist and guests, semi open wood fired kitchen, semi-open dining
and living that can be used for conducting classes and various activities. Livestock area for Cow and calf, Goat, Sheep and
chickens.
