Organic Farming

Narayana’s agriculture and horticulture have been driven organically for almost 50 years. The soil has always been given manure from the stable and is in a good condition with a high content of beneficial microorganisms and other good things, which cannot be found in fields with conventional farming. The crops are healthy and of high quality. Nevertheless, we always have to make every effort to avoid attacks from diseases, pests and weeds. This year one of Narayana`s wheat fields had not been sufficiently cultivated, so it was severely attacked by weeds, especially chamomile flower. Therefore, we had to send a team out into the field and remove the harmful plants by hand. Here are a few snapshots from the unusual situation.
