Government Orange and Vegetable Farm

The Government Orange and Vegetable Farm is situated at Pulayampara in the Nelliyampathy hills of Palakkad district. The farm is part of the region’s long agricultural identity and is known for the cultivation of oranges along with a variety of fruits and vegetables suited to the cooler hill environment. For visitors travelling through Nelliyampathy, it provides an agritourism dimension to a landscape more commonly associated with misty roads, forests, tea and coffee estates and scenic viewpoints.

The value of the stop lies in seeing productive hill agriculture at close range and understanding how climate and elevation shape cultivation in this part of Keralam. Availability of produce, visitor access and farm activities can vary with season and operational requirements, so travellers should confirm current arrangements locally rather than assuming unrestricted entry. The farm pairs naturally with other Nelliyampathy attractions and is particularly relevant to families, students and travellers interested in horticulture, local food systems and rural landscapes.
