Our Story
Founded in the heart of Oregon House, California, Govind Farm began as a vision to create a space where people could reconnect with nature and learn about sustainable living. Our name 'Govind' reflects our commitment to caring for all living beings, inspired by the timeless wisdom of agrarian traditions.
Over the years, we've grown from a simple farm into a thriving community hub where visitors can experience the peace and harmony that comes from working with nature rather than against it. Our animals, orchards, and woodland areas provide the perfect setting for learning, reflection, and connection.
