Two Bandra Girls Buy a Farm – Arti Dwarkadas

Description

HOW TWO PEOPLE FROM BANDRA BECAME URBAN FARMERS.
When two spirited Bandra girls swap cappuccinos for cow dung, you know it’s going to be a story worth telling. Two Bandra Girls Buy a Farm is a laugh-out-loud chronicle of what happens when city slickers with zero farming experience decide to ‘go organic’ in the unpredictable heart of Raigad.
When Arti said yes to her friend Suzann’s hare-brained scheme of buying land, she was pumped with post-lockdown confidence in her green thumb. Tomatoes and chillies were spilling out of her Bandra balcony garden, just like her enthusiasm for the farming life.
From negotiating with sceptical villagers and unruly cows, every misstep becomes a lesson, and every harvest a tiny miracle. Yet beneath the comedy of errors lies something deeper: a fresh look at what it truly means to work with one’s hands, live close to the land and make a small but genuine difference in the world.
Witty, warm and wonderfully grounded, Arti’s account of her adventures and misadventures with farming is for anyone who’s ever dreamed of escaping the city-or at least laughing at someone else’s attempt to do so.
