A.B.C. Farms is also very environmentally aware. The farm is used for organic farming of vegetables,
grains, maize and alfalfa grass. No inorganic fertilizers or pesticides are permitted on the farm
ensuring an ecologically sound environment for the farm to flourish.
Part of the dung produced by the livestock is converted to bio-gas. The rest of it along with the bio-gas slurry and the urine of the cattle is the major source of fertilizer used at the farm. Vermicompost is used mostly for the fruit trees. Running hot water is available through the solar heating system installed at the farm. These eco friendly practices enhance the value of our milk, dairy and farm products.
