Azing’s Model Farm is located in Hathidunga, Rinchenpong, West Sikkim.
The farm is inspired to make good use of waste materials in an innovative way one can clearly see the vegetables or organic fruits grown into a rubber bucket or a flower pot made up of bamboo and wood.
The person or founder, Azing Lepcha, is a great example to the youths of making good sustenance through self-reliance.
Local chickens, goats, and cows can be seen roaming the farm, which is specifically designed for farm management.
The most amazing thing about the farm is that one can have the experience of tasting a local wine prepared from fruits like guava, pineapple, oranges, and passion fruits.
Apart from all the above, one can also see a practice of sweet farming like a bee hive where one can buy it at a reasonable rate.
The farm is also open for visitors who wish to stay and have a closer experience with the farm. It offers homestay accommodation with great service and amenities.
The only drawback to the farm is that it is located down below the main roads with lots of stairs to walk up, which sometimes might not be suitable for elderly people, but it is always rewarding to reach down into the farms.
