Quite a large extent of land -about 65 acres is under cultivation. The Centre believes in growing diverse crops to reduce adverse impact of monoculture. The Centre grows food and vegetable crops, and also fodder for the cattle. It has fruit trees too.

The food crops that are grown include paddy, wheat, jowar, and bajra. Several pulses such as red gram, urrd, green gram, etc are cultivated as a multi-cropping strategy. sudan, baraseem, maize, jowar fodder crops grown on farm provide required green fodder to our cattle. Potato, okra, tomato, chilli, suran, are some of the vegetables grown on the farm. Adding to all these, some fruit trees have been planted Papaya, banana, mango, bael, amda, tad palm and jackfruit. Oil seeds such as mustard, line seeds, ground nut, till are a part of farming at the Centre. The Centre during the last year (2006-07) produced 100 qt.of wheat, 125 qtl. of paddy, 50 qtl. of suran, 20 qtl. of vegetables, 250 qtl. of potato and 30 qtl of papaya.

The Centre has adopted both modern techniques and traditional practices in agriculture. Although Centre is fully aware of the importance of growing food organically, it is still using chemical fertilizers and pesticides to maintain certainly level of food production. The Centre is exploring the eco-friendly practices to replace chemicals step by step. The Centre is also drawing plans for phasing out chemical farming gradually and completely in the next 5 years. In this endeavour it has already made an humble beginning by growing paddy fodder and fodder in 1.6 acre.

During this Rabi season, the centre has decided to cultivate mainly wheat in 40 acres, barseem in 10 acres, potato and mustard in 6 acres by using both chemical and bio-fertilizers such as neem cakes. Peas and Mixed crops (jowar, bajra, etc) will be grown organically in 9 acres. Due to marketing constraints the Centre presently do not have any plans to grow medicinal plants, although Jatropa, milk thristal, sarphaghandha, ashwagandha, safed mushli, colious were cultivated during 2006-07.

It also has ventured into growing medicinal plants on a small scale and discontinued due to marketing problems.

To meet its bio-fertilizer requirement for the organic farming the Centre has vermicomposting units for composting cow dung and farm yard manure .

Future Plans
The Centre wishes to work with the communities more intensely to promote organic farming practices. It is planning to have demonstration plots on a few food and vegetable crops during 2008-09. The Centre is looking forward for support from NGOs/Universities/Individuals.

The Centre is planning to allocate more area to cultivate oil seeds and pulses.

The centre is conceiving the idea of having seed banks of indigenous varieties of food and vegetable crops.

In order to promote the importance of eating fruit as a part of regular diet, the Centre is considering developing a nursery of fruit saplings from the year 2008-09. The saplings would be sold to the neighbouring villages.
