Life at Madakkal Ridges Collective
Madakkal Ridges is a 70+ acres farming collective located 65 km from Bengaluru. It is built with the principles of agroforestry. It will house a community of around 40+ like-minded individuals, each owning a large parcel of land and independent houses. The collective is nestled amidst rolling hills and natural views. A natural stream also runs through the land. We are working with Ananas, our farm design partner, to study the land and create a biodiverse natural ecosystem comprising various growing zones, earthworks, communal spaces, and water bodies. We are also collaborating with architects committed to sustainability to design each member house, along with a community centre, communal dining area, guest rooms, and staff housing.
Let’s connect!

What are we doing at
our Madakkal Ridges Collective?
Here’s an overview of our planned activities and initiatives!
Become self-sufficient in the long run
Our farm will be built with the principles of agroforestry and regenerative farming. We plan to grow varieties of exotic and local veggies and fruits (along with timber) while following natural farming practices. The ultimate goal is to make our collective self-sufficient.
Fresh farm-to-table food for all
Everyone in the community will have exclusive access to our farm produce and products. We’ll also prepare farm-to-table meals for all our members at the community kitchen.
Chemical and pesticide-free farming practices
We will incorporate crop rotation, cover cropping, and composting to prioritise biodiversity conservation and soil health. We also plan to use natural pest control methods to sustain the land.
Building a learning hub
We plan to work with the local folks to manage our farming operations. In return, we intend to share our expertise with them. Through hands-on workshops and training, we want our collective to become a space where members, locals, and visitors can explore natural agricultural practices and deepen their connection to the land.
An eco-conscious house
Members can design their dream house by collaborating with our expert architects—Made in Earth, Mrinmayee Consultants, Sathya Consultants, and Samvad Design Studio. All houses will be made with locally sourced materials.
A community centre
We are building a community centre at the Madakkal Ridges Collective. We want it to become a space where members can unwind, have meaningful conversations and enjoy some quiet time.
