Haven Farm

🌿
The Jarayo trek from Haven Farm is a beautiful hiking experience in the hills of Darjeeling. The trail begins with an uphill climb from the farm, followed by a descent from Jarayo. Along the way, you’ll come across a beautiful taar — a peaceful, flat stretch of land where you can pause, breathe, and enjoy the surrounding landscape.
From forest trails to open spaces, every part of this hike has its own charm. If you love nature, village trails, and exploring the quieter side of Darjeeling, the Jarayo trek is worth experiencing. 🌲
📍 Start your adventure at Haven Farm, Upper Sepi, near Rimbick, Darjeeling.

There is a rhythm to weaving a Doko (डोको) that you can’t learn from a book. Today, our kids are stepping working to explain the intricate process as they watch a craftsman at work.

From splitting the bamboo into flexible strips to the final sturdy rim, they’re learning how this iconic Nepali basket is built to withstand the weight of the mountains. Whether it’s carrying manure to the fields, stones for a new wall, or the season’s harvest, the Doko is an integral tool of our farm

We aren't just making baskets; we’re making sure the stories and skills of our ancestors aren't lost to time. 🏔️✨

We had the pleasure of hosting Anudeep and Yawan at Haven Farm last October end. Anudeep is a doctoral researcher at the university of British Columbia. We have known Anudeep since 2023, when she and Yawan came to Sepi to conduct a workshop on memory mapping with community youth under Living with Forest . Her relationship with Sepi and its community members was strengthened when she came back a few times last April to document oral histories of Sepi upon Haven Farm’s invitation and coordination. In their trip to Sepi in October, Yawan and Anudeep digitized documents and photographs from families upon their consultation. The digitized materials will be archived and owned by, and housed in the community of Sepi.

We welcome artists and professionals of all kinds, who are looking for a quiet place to work, input, listen and/or learn from the land and people in our community.

Welcome to our new series on the 12 Principles of Permaculture.

Before we touch the soil, we pause.
We observe the sun’s movement, monsoon rains, mountain winds, and how local village life has adapted for generations.

This is what Observe & Interact means — designing systems that work with nature, not against it.

👉 What are you observing in your own surroundings today? Comment below.
