Navara Eco Farm

Navara Eco Farm is a family-run organic farm on the banks of the Sokanasini River in Chittur, Palakkad district. Its work centres on preserving Navara, a traditional medicinal rice variety, while demonstrating how indigenous crops can be cultivated within a broader system of organic agriculture and biodiversity conservation. Keralam Tourism notes that the farm has been fully certified organic since 2006 and has contributed to efforts around Navara and Palakkadan Matta rice, both closely identified with Keralam's agricultural heritage.

The farm has also interacted with scientific and academic institutions studying traditional rice and related products. For visitors interested in responsible tourism, food systems or farming, Navara Eco Farm adds depth to the usual Palakkad itinerary by showing the living agricultural knowledge behind the district's reputation as Keralam's granary. Visits should be arranged according to the farm's current access policy and agricultural calendar.
