The Model
When you buy 1 acre through One Acre Farms, your name goes on the official patta (title deed). You own the land outright, in perpetuity. What you do not have to manage yourself is the agricultural operation — that is what we handle.
Our farm team operates your plot as part of a larger managed farmland community. We decide crops in consultation with you, maintain the irrigation infrastructure, monitor plant health, manage harvesting, and coordinate yield distribution.
You are not a passive investor — you receive monthly updates, can visit your farm any time, and have full transparency into what is growing and why. The word "co-farmer" is not marketing. It describes your actual role: a land owner who participates in a shared farming community.
You Own
Title deed (patta) in your name. Land appreciates. You decide when to sell.
We Manage
Soil prep, sapling, irrigation, crop care, harvesting, monthly reports, co-farmer coordination.
You Participate
Farm visits, WhatsApp community, seasonal planting decisions, harvest festivals.
Farm Monitoring
Most first-time farmland buyers ask the same question: "What actually happens on my land after I buy it?" Here is the honest answer.
Fortnightly photos and short videos from your specific plot — not stock images from the project. You see your mango trees, your banana rows, your drip lines.
Written monthly reports covering irrigation schedule, fertilisation applied, pest observations, crop growth stage, and planned activities for the coming month.
Each project corridor has its own co-farmer WhatsApp group with the farm management team. Ask questions, share photos from your visit, and get responses from the people actually working your land.
Seasonal crop health assessments identify deficiencies, pest pressure, or water stress before they affect yield. Our farm managers document each observation with photographs.
Updates follow a predictable rhythm: fortnightly photos (WhatsApp), monthly written report (email + WhatsApp), harvest dispatch notification (when your yield is ready), and annual farm plan summary before each planting season.
Farm managers conduct formal site visits every 15 days — walking each plot, checking irrigation lines, inspecting crop health, and photographing any issues. These visits form the basis of the fortnightly photo updates you receive.
Soil & Crop
Different corridors require different approaches. Tamil Nadu and Karnataka have different soil profiles, rainfall patterns, and crop suitability.
Red loamy soil with good moisture retention. Elevation 900–1,100m above sea level.
Primary crops: Alphonso mango, banana (Rasthali, Robusta), turmeric
Water source: Rainfall + borewell
Irrigation: Drip + mulching
Sandy loam with good drainage. Semi-arid climate with lower rainfall than Thalli.
Primary crops: Coconut, areca nut, vegetables (seasonal)
Water source: Borewell + rainwater harvesting
Irrigation: Drip + micro-sprinkler
Laterite soil with moderate depth. Higher elevation than North Bangalore corridor.
Primary crops: Mango, banana, silvi-pasture ( fodder + timber)
Water source: Borewell + check dams
Irrigation: Drip + pond storage
Plot Identification
GPS-marked survey of your plot boundaries. Soil samples collected from 5 points across the acre.
Laboratory Analysis
NPK levels, pH, organic carbon, micronutrients (Fe, Zn, B). Tests conducted at government-approved soil labs.
Report & Crop Plan
Soil report shared with you. Crop plan recommended based on findings — reviewed with you before planting begins.
Annual Re-Testing
Soil tested each year post-harvest to track nutrient depletion and adjust fertilisation for the next cycle.
Water Management
Borewell yield test at purchase. drip system designed based on plot topography and crop water requirements per zone.
Annual Fee
We believe in full cost transparency. Here is exactly what the annual management fee pays for — so you know what you are paying for and why.
| Included in Annual Fee | Not Included |
|---|---|
| Full-time farm manager and support labour | Your personal travel to and from the farm |
| All agricultural inputs (saplings, seeds, organic fertiliser, biopesticides) | Personal consumption of harvest produce beyond your equitable share |
| Drip irrigation installation and maintenance | Major capital repairs (borewell deepening, new borewell drilling) |
| Borewell and water management (electricity, motor maintenance) | Title deed registration fees or stamp duty |
| Plot boundary maintenance and security rounds | Co-farmer resale transfer fees (nominal, at actual cost) |
| Monthly written farm reports (email + WhatsApp) | Overnight accommodation at farm (we can recommend nearby options) |
| Fortnightly photo/video updates from your plot | Personal crop special requests requiring additional inputs |
| Harvest coordination, yield measurement, and dispatch | Legal consultation for NRI/FEMA compliance (we can refer you to a specialist) |
| Annual soil re-testing and fertility report | Insurance of produce post-harvest |
| WhatsApp community management | Transport of harvest produce to your city |
| Co-farmer visit coordination and farm manager time during your visit | Farming equipment storage beyond community infrastructure |
Annual management fee is charged per acre, per year. Contact us for current fee structure — it varies by project corridor and crop mix.
Community
Your 1 acre is part of a larger managed community. That is not just a benefit — it is a structural advantage over standalone farmland ownership.
Shared security: neighbouring co-farmers and our on-site team monitor all plots within a project. No illegal encroachment, no unattended boundaries, no abandoned land.
Shared infrastructure: drip irrigation networks, borewells, storage facilities, and access roads are maintained as community assets — individual cost burden is lower as a result.
Shared knowledge: our farm managers serve all co-farmers in a corridor, accumulating regional expertise that no single landowner could develop alone. You benefit from what we learn across 130+ plots.
Private groups per project corridor. Monthly updates, planting decisions, harvest shares, and introductions to fellow co-farmers from 130+ families.
Once a year, co-farmers from all projects gather at the farm for the harvest festival. Families meet, see their plots, and celebrate the season's yield together.
Community borewells, drip networks, storage rooms, and approach roads reduce per-acre cost compared to developing these from scratch on a standalone plot.
Farm Visits
You can visit your farm any time. There is no restricted season — every season shows something different on the land.
Contact us via WhatsApp or phone
Reach out at +91 89254 12027 or https://wa.me/918925412027 — tell us your preferred date and how many people in your group.
We coordinate with the farm manager
Your relationship manager confirms availability and sends you directions to the exact plot location — not just the project entrance.
Day visit or weekend — your choice
Day visits (9am–4pm) are most common. For overnight stays near the Thalli/Hosur corridor, we can recommend verified homestays within 15–20 minutes of the farm.
Walk-through of your plot with the farm supervisor
Review your management file — soil test results, crop plan, yield history
Inspection of current crop stages — see your mango trees, banana rows, or turmeric beds
Lunch with the farm team — simple farm-style meal
Time to connect with any other co-farmers present
Visit to adjacent co-farmer plots if you wish — see different crop mixes and plot sizes

FAQ
Our farm team handles the complete agricultural cycle on your behalf. This includes: pre-monsoon soil preparation, sapling selection and planting (based on corridor-specific crop planning), drip irrigation installation and management, organic fertilisation, pest monitoring, weed control, and harvest coordination. You receive photo and video updates at each stage — you never have to wonder what is happening on your land.
Every co-farmer is added to a WhatsApp group specific to their project corridor once they reserve a plot. Our farm managers share: fortnightly photo/video updates from your plot, monthly written farm reports (irrigation schedules, crop growth stages, upcoming activities), seasonal crop yield estimates, and harvest dispatch notifications. You can also request a dedicated farm visit at any time by contacting your relationship manager.
Crop selection is corridor-specific and evidence-based. Our team conducts soil testing on every plot at the time of purchase. For Thalli/Hosur corridor (Tamil Nadu), we primarily cultivate mango, banana, and turmeric. For North Bangalore corridor (Karnataka), crops include coconut, areca nut, and vegetables. For Kanakapura corridor, we focus on mango, banana, and silvi-pasture systems. Crop plans are shared with co-farmers before each planting season for their input.
The annual fee covers: full-time farm manager and support staff wages, all agricultural inputs (seeds, saplings, organic fertiliser, biopesticides), drip irrigation maintenance, borewell and water management, fence and plot boundary upkeep, security rounds, monthly reporting to all co-farmers, harvest coordination and yield accounting, and co-farmer visit coordination. It does not cover your personal travel to the farm or personal consumables you take home during visits.
You can plan a visit any time — contact us via WhatsApp or phone and we will coordinate with the farm manager. A typical visit includes: a walk-through of your plot with our farm supervisor, inspection of current crop stages, review of your management file (soil test results, crop plan, yield history), lunch with the farm team, and time to connect with any co-farmers present. Day visits are the most common; we can also help arrange overnight stays at nearby homestays in the Thalli/Hosur area for families who want a weekend farm experience.
We have managed farmland for 130+ co-farmer families across 10+ years. Our completed projects span four farm retreat developments near Thalli (Tamil Nadu) — Hilltop Farm Retreat, Lakeside Farm Retreat, Country Side Farm Retreat, and Misty Valley Farm Retreat. Current active management covers our upcoming Thalli project (waitlist open) and Montebello in the North Bangalore corridor. We manage plots across three states and two climate zones, which requires corridor-specific agricultural expertise that most farmland operators cannot replicate.
We will send you a sample monthly farm report from one of our active projects so you can see exactly what kind of updates you will receive.
