We have answers
Got questions? We're here to help!
What food do you provide?
We provide cuisine that are well known here in our village. It is healthy, vegetarian food. The vegetables and greens are sourced both from the farm as well as farms that are nearby. Do check out these photos to get an idea of the food we serve.
Can we request for a particular food to be cooked?
The menu is decided by the elderly ladies. We do not take orders for specific food. We are a farmstay and not a resort. Think of it as staying in our house. We encourage you to put your trust in us. You will be pleasantly surprised.
Who cooks the food?
The delicious, vegetarian village cuisine is cooked by Lakshmi Ammal (who is 89 years old) and Kasthuri Ammal (who is 71 years old). Both are excellent in whipping up lip-smacking delicacies.
We like non-vegetarian food. Can you cook non-veg food for us?
Sorry. We don’t cook non-veg food at the farm. Trust us when we say that the food that we serve is something that you will relish.
Can we use the kitchen at the farmhouse and cook on our own?
We have stopped self-cooking at the farmhouse. This is because we found it very difficult to maintain the cleanliness of the farmhouse. When one cooks, it is inevitable for the kitchen to get messy. Also, we get guests who are staunch vegetarians. We want to respect all and hence we took the decision against self-cooking.
Can I make barbeque at the farm?
Yes, you can barbecue outside the farmhouse. (no cooking is allowed inside the farmhouse but barbecuing outside is allowed). For non-vegetarian loving guests, this is a fun option to barbecue under the stars at night.
Are there restaurants close by?
There are small restaurants in the Rettanai village which is 2 kms away. If you want more posher restaurants, then the closest ones are in Tindivanam town which is 15 kms away. We provide healthy, home-cooked food. Why would you want to eat in a restaurant when you get good food at the farm itself? 
Can I bring my food from outside?
Technically, you can. While we have restrictions on self-cooking, there is no limitation for you to bring food from outside. But why bother when you get good, clean, organic, healthy food that we cook for you.
