The Brigadiers Cottage, Mussoorie

Besides running The Brigadiers Cottage successfully, we implemented the following to add value to our homestay in Mussoorie:
Dairy | We have set up a small dairy at the cottage that aims at promoting a local Indian Himalayan breed of cow - the Badri Cow. |
Poultry | We only use the free range Pahadi chicken, geese and turkeys. These birds are only used for their eggs and fertilising the soil. |
Apiary | We have ventured into beekeeping and only promote the Indian Himalayan bees, famous for some of the best honey in the world. |
Permaculture | We have established a Permanent Food Forest - Permaculture, for organic food. This way, none of the animals are hurt and we help in the growth of agricultural ecosystems in a sustainable way. |
Saponification | We have set up a small domestic unit for making Goat milk soaps that are organic, chemical-free and healthy for humans. |
Incense | We have established a small unit where we make incense sticks with cow dung. This helps us in promoting an organic lifestyle and reduced usage of chemicals and plastics at the cottage. |
Oil Extraction | At The Brigadiers Cottage, we use groundnuts, almonds, walnuts and mustard seeds to extract oil. |
