Robin Singh and Shivani Bhalla left a comfortable life in the US to come back to India and find solace. When they traveled across the country to try and find their ‘purpose’, they realised that rescuing and rehabilitating animals is what they wanted to do.

So they set up a non-profit venture called ‘Peepal Farm’ in a small village called Dhanotu located in the hills of HimachalPradesh. Although their end goal is the welfare of their animals, they have set up structures around their farm which will aid this and make their venture self-sustainable.

They practice ‘NoTill agriculture’, which is a unique and natural way to grow crops. This farm tour will show how they grow their own organic produce which sustains the employees, volunteers and feeds the animals. Watch the video to know more.
