Mysore-Ooty-Conoor-Mysore

I have been to Ooty countless number of times. But none of them were as interesting as the experience this time around.

The plan was to go and meet Mr. Mansoor, who happened to have a farm which was involved in Organic farming and cheesemaking.

His farm Acres Wild Farm is a 22 acre farm and they are planning to make it a 100% no chemical zone. We spent nearly 4-5 hours with Mr. Mansoor and learnt a lot about home made cheese and organic farming.

Please go and visit his farm and check his website. There is a lot to learn out there.

Mysore -Ooty is about 130 kms if you take the kalhatty ghat route.
Mysore - Ooty is about 160 kms if you take the Gudalur route.

Coonoor is about 20 kms from Ooty.



Love,
Matter.
