We are thrilled to share some exciting news! Vaksana Farms has been honored with a nomination for the prestigious India Responsible Tourism Award by Outlook Traveller magazine. This recognition is a testament to our commitment to sustainable farming, community empowerment, and preserving the rich cultural heritage of rural India. At Vaksana Farms, we believe in creating experiences that are not only enriching for our guests but also respectful of the environment and local traditions.

One of the cornerstones of the Vaksana experience is the opportunity to immerse yourself in the authentic flavors of Tamil Nadu, thanks to the culinary magic of Kasthuri Amma. Her cooking is more than just food—it’s a celebration of tradition, love, and the bounty of nature.

Kasthuri Amma: The Heart and Soul of Vaksana’s Kitchen
Kasthuri Amma, a local culinary expert, has been an integral part of Vaksana Farms since its inception. Her hands weave stories of tradition as she prepares meals using age-old recipes passed down through generations. Every dish she creates is a reflection of her deep connection to the land and its produce.

Using fresh, organic ingredients sourced directly from Vaksana’s farms, Kasthuri Amma crafts meals that are both wholesome and delicious. From the aromatic sambar and crispy dosas to the flavorful kootu and sweet payasam, every bite is a journey into the heart of Tamil Nadu’s culinary heritage.

What makes her cooking even more special is the love and care she pours into every dish. Guests often gather around the kitchen, watching in awe as she expertly balances spices and flavors, sharing stories and laughter along the way. It’s not just a meal—it’s an experience that stays with you long after you leave.
