Hands & Soil

A Saturday that helps you connect with land.

Hands & Soil is a farm-volunteering experience at the Beforest Hyderabad Collective, created for those who want to step away from screens and spend a day doing something real, grounding, and deeply satisfying.

This is not a commercial farm or a productivity-driven setup. The Beforest Collective is a fully organic, living landscape, guided by permaculture principles - where soil health, biodiversity, and long-term balance matter more than yield. What you step into is not just a farm, but an ecosystem being carefully nurtured.

There’s no fixed agenda here. Each session responds to what the land needs that day. You may be harvesting, planting, mulching, composting, watering, or helping with everyday upkeep. Some days offer harvests; others offer care. Both are equally essential.

What you gain isn’t instant output, but perspective. Time working with your hands, understanding how food grows in a regenerative system, and experiencing the quiet satisfaction that comes from patience, effort, and showing up - even when the reward isn’t immediate.

The day includes a simple farm-to-table meal, prepared using what’s grown on the land - honest food that tastes better because you’ve been part of the process.

Timing: 10 am – 4 pm
Group size: Limited to 10 participants

Children who are comfortable with physical farm work and can engage independently are welcome.

Hands & Soil is for anyone craving a slower Saturday, a deeper relationship with food, and the quiet fulfilment of contributing to something real.

Get your hands dirty. Connect with the land.
