Maharishi Orchards

Our place, Maharishi Orchards, is located at 42, Gantharvakottai Main Road, right in the Sanoorapatti area. Being out here means we're surrounded by a lot more green and open space than you would find in the middle of a city. The work follows the change in seasons, so some months end up being incredibly hectic while others are a bit more relaxed. We spend a lot of our time outdoors or in the sheds, dealing with whatever needs doing that morning. The main road is right there, so we see the local buses and tractors going back and forth all through the day. It’s a simple kind of life at Sanoorapatti, and we mostly like it that way. The office at number 42 is where we keep our tools and some of the records, though it’s rarely very tidy because there is always something being moved around. We don’t have any polished signs or high-tech systems here. It’s mostly just us working with our hands and making sure the land is looked after as best as we can. Visitors who happen to come by usually mention how different the air feels out here compared to the busy towns. We’ve been part of this landscape for many years now. Sometimes the heavy rain makes the road a bit of a mess, but that’s just part of being in this part of the country. We just wake up, check the sky, and get to work on whatever needs doing.
