The Farmer
The book was inspired by the desire to make Vaksana Farmstay profitable. This is our farmstay which we started at our 15-acre organic permaculture farm in Tamilnadu, India. As I began to research deeper, I began to realise that the insights and strategies would be of valuable information for other farmstay owners to succeed. That’s what inspired to collate all the tips and strategies in a single place. I strongly felt the need for a comprehensive guide to help farmstay and homestay owners create successful and sustainable businesses.
