“pumpset irukka?” used to be a common question by those wanting to stay at Vaanavil Farm Stay. While we always had a small tank to collect water in, it was too small. Only young kids could bathe in it. Fresh Batches of produce from the Last 2 weeks! Swipe to see photos. DM us to order or order from the store directly, Link in Bio. This post is not to brag but to shed light on the fact that if one can get work done without engaging in corruption despite all the naysaying. Plastering the walls was a joyful activity for us as a family. The house had taken shape but it still wasn’t ready for us to occupy. Plastering was happening during 2020, during the lockdown. We experimented with both Sun dried Adobe bricks and cob for wall construction. While adobe was time consuming, cob was faster to construct. Which technique would you use? Fresh batches of 6 products added in the store last week. Order online or DM us. Visit store link in bio for list of products. One of the first constructions at Vaanavil was a compost toilet. We empty the chambers every few years and use the aged and decomposed Humanure for our timber trees. Hear @papanasambaba talk about it! Beautifully handwoven and naturally dyed, these versatile cotton towels are perfect for use in the kitchen or as a soft face towel. Made with love and care by the women of @konnai.choices in Tiruttani. Would you like to add them to your dining table / bathroom? Products added to the store in the last 1 week. Link in bio. Or DM us to order :)
