About Us
Welcome to Dona Eco Farms — a place where passion, purpose, and nature come together to create a thriving, sustainable farm and a home for life. What began as a barren stretch of land in Koraput, Odisha, has today blossomed into a vibrant ecosystem of crops, animals, trees, and biodiversity — all nurtured with respect for nature and a deep commitment to regenerative farming practices.
Our journey began with a dream: to transform neglected land into a productive, ecologically balanced farm that could serve as a living example of what sustainable agriculture can look like. With perseverance, careful planning, and dedication to working with nature — not against it, we turned that dream into reality. Through the adoption of permaculture principles and the Subash Palekar Natural Farming Model, we’ve cultivated a diverse range of crops and integrated livestock into a holistic system that enhances soil health, improves biodiversity, and generates sustainable livelihoods.
At Dona Eco Farms, you’ll find:
Diverse Crop Cultivation — from millets and vegetables to fruit trees and seasonal experiments, we focus on planting crops that build healthy soil and nourish communities.
Integrated Livestock — our goats, cows, and chickens are essential partners in our farm ecosystem, providing natural manure for fertility, helping with pest and weed management, and contributing to year-round farm income.
Sustainable Practices — we embrace methods like mixed cropping of millets, drip irrigation, composting, and careful water management to reduce waste, protect natural resources, and enhance ecological balance.
Biodiversity & Ecology — from planting windbreak trees such as silver oak to encouraging beneficial insects and birds, our farm is designed to support life at every level.
But Dona Eco Farms is more than just a farm — it’s a living classroom and inspiration for sustainable living. We believe in sharing our learnings, challenges, and successes with fellow farmers, students, and anyone passionate about sustainable agriculture. Our goal is to demonstrate that even the most unpromising land can be transformed into a flourishing, resilient, and productive landscape when cared for with understanding and love.
Our Mission:
To promote regenerative farming practices that restore soil health, conserve biodiversity, and empower communities — proving that agriculture can be both productive and planet-friendly.
Our Vision:
A world where farms function as balanced ecosystems, biodiversity thrives, and people reconnect with the land that sustains them.
Thank you for visiting Dona Eco Farms — where every seed, every plant, and every animal is part of a larger story of transformation, hope, and sustainable growth.
